    Hi. I recently checked my program list under my control panel and I found that my Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver is taking up a total of 3.22 gb. I tried reinstalling the driver from the Intel website and ended up with the same result. I am running Vista Home Premium. Thank you.

    I posted a screenshot.

    My Nvidia drivers take up 3.15GB and I have 8 separate 5.8GB entries for Oblivion.

    It's inaccurate and nothing to worry about, the drivers ARE NOT taking up that much space. Whatever method Add/Remove Programs uses to determine disk usage is inaccurate.

    from that picture, I would go and say its vista fault (wrong caulction) I mean it tries to identify the driver location and somehow it counts the folder where the driver exists. So, basically it is using less than 3.22 gb and nothing to worry about


    Edit: niteh answered first (Sorry couldn't notice, I opened many tabs and didn't do refresh)
