If you’re looking to uninstall drivers from your computer, there are a few things you can do. The first is to use the Windows Driver Uninstaller. This tool will help you uninstall drivers from your computer in a few simple steps. The second way to uninstall drivers is to use the Device Manager. This tool will help you identify and list all the devices on your computer. You can then uninstall any of these devices by using the following steps:
- Open the Device Manager and click on the device you want to uninstall.
- Click on the Remove button and follow the prompts that appear.
- After removing the device, restart your computer and try again to install the driver for that device.
There’s a really simple little utility called DriverView that you can use without even installing (just unzip it and run) that will quickly give you a list of which drivers are installed, the version numbers and other useful information.
Once you launch the utility, it’s fairly self explanatory…
If you double-click on the driver you can see all the details:
You can also choose to save the list of drivers in a number of different formats. Text format would be useful if you wanted to paste it into a forum thread while asking for assistance.
Alternatively, you can generate an HTML report of all the items or just the selected ones.
It could be useful to generate a report when your system is working optimally that you could later compare against if you have issues with driver updates in the future. Note that system restore helps out with that as well…
