Remove Old Drivers from Windows

This guide is for Windows XP and Vista only. By removing unwanted old drivers, your windows might be using less system resources.

1. Click Start > Run and type "command" without the quote:


2. Type the following and press Enter :
              SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1

3. Then type devmgmt.msc to bring out the device manager.
 


4. Click View > Show hidden devices.


5. Expand on the devices to see the which devices that are active and which are not. The inactive devices appear grayed out.

6. From the list, right click on the inactive device you wish to remove and select Uninstall to remove the driver and you are done!


As usual, click on the image to see them in full size.

ciK LyndaWawa igUana,
ooo camtu eh. sorry la. entry kali ni advanced sket. skang tgh bz sgt, tak sempat nak carik entry yg ringan-ringan.

afams-chan,
ok2, tunggu ye :D

Azmiezas,
takde la baru sgt, utk xp & vista je. skang ni dah windows 7, tp saya pon blom pakai lagi kak :p

♥ shiMawar ♥,
kalau ikutkan bende2 yg warna cam transparent tu bleh je remove, tp kalu boleh jgn kacau bende2 dalam System devices, Ports & Processors. biasa kalu pc kita slalu kene cucuk pendrive org lain, bleh la remove kat Disk drives.

sorry, bz sgt, tak sempat nak servis pc :p

kenapa tak terus saja dari device manager pada windows

mrnoble said...

yahaya,
sebab driver yg tak pakai tu mmg tak nmpk kalau terus saja dari device manager pada windows, even kita klik 'Show hidden devices'. so kene buat step2 kat dos prompt baru bleh nmpk yg unused driver tu :D
