    Cleaning unused drivers


    I remember long time ago I used an app called GhostBuster that would remove unused drivers from Windows. Is that app still compatible? If not, any other suggested app that does the job? Thanks

    :)

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
