    How come I can't use driver sweeper for vista?? I get an error, I'm trying to try out other drivers and it just wont let me do a clean sweep and also for the physix drivers. Does anyone know this problem??

    i don't know what kind of error you get but i get one that says:

    "Unable to write to C:/Program Files/....etc, etc"

    you get the picture

    solution for me was to start up in safe mode and run it in safe mode. no more error, works like a charm

    ah ah!

    no i was not and never tried. i just tried that in "regular" mode thought and it works fine :)

    i always clean my drivers out in safe mode bcuz i read its best so never even thought to try to run as admin in regular mode. but yeah no error messages

    i can't imagine what might be wrong with TS's driver sweeper that it won't work :(

    You guys really should try to read the readme or help file.
    It clearly says ONLY run in ADMINISTRATOR mode.
