Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Hey, thanks for the quik replies guys I'll get on that. I remember BillZ used to recommend uninstalling all instances of my driver before running the cleaner, course this was years ago. Is this still necessary?

Thanks

EDIT: It actually says on both of those links that it has been discontinued. Any other thoughts?

I usually, uninstall my drivers, restart into Safe Mode, run Driver Sweeper, restart and then install the new drivers.

I have yet to have glitches come up when doing it this way, disregarding messed up drivers from the ATI/nVidia.

You can also get it from Major Geeks.

I do much of my downloading of utilities from there.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

A couple of years back, I paid $9.99 for Driver Cleaner Pro.
Driver Cleaner Pro
I have used it successfully for a long time now and it has helped keep my old putersaurus running well. I have also heard good things about the free Driver Sweeper, but never tried it. Either way, removing all tracess of the old driver is the way to go, as leving bits behind could be causing conflicts.
