cleaning up old drivers

[gklofa]

Hi. New here. Great site.
How do you ensure all old drivers are cleaned up off your system, to ensure there is nothing clashing with new drivers. I have recently installed xp, and had to do a great deal of updating of drivers to get the system to work properly. I want to ensure all old ones are gone. Is there a program for this?

thanks
Greg

Fdisk, Format, Clean Install

Its the easiest and most foolproof way

you can also boot into safe mode and check your devices for duplicate and/or old drivers.. you can also use a registry cleaning program to search for references for devices and programs no longer installed.. unltimately though a clean install is the best way to go and worth doing..
