How To Remove Old Device Drivers from Windows XP and Vista by Britec
Normally, these old hardware drivers remain hidden as the Device Manager displays only the active devices. Using a special command, it is possible to force them into view. What is easy and neat about the whole thing is that the old devices appear grayed out sighting and uninstalling them is just a matter of a keystroke.

So here is the short and easy method to prevent your computer from being bogged down by old driver leftovers. The process is the same for Windows XP and Vista

SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
devmgmt.msc

  1. Thank you sir! I just installed an old device driver that caused a bad_spool error. I knew what I needed to uninstall, but not how to do it. Your video got me quickly back up and running!

  2. This is a good video and easily explained too, thanks! My problem is when I click on a bunch of sites I get all kinds of different things that come up. The most common one is the gip.driver. I did what you showed and there isn't anything hidden. Do you know how I can get rid of the gip.driver and all the other ones that come up? I appreciate your help! Thanks in advance 🙂
