Driver Cleaner net for multiple vid cards

Emile · Feb 11, 2008, 02:01 PM

Hello,
Please look at my signature. I use 2 nvidia video cards of different types. Why I use the DCN it cleans BOTH cards and I have to reinstall 2 drivers (the 2nd one is always the same) . Is it not possible to clean only 1 video card??
Thanks in advance

Since the two cards are nvidia cards. The cleaner removes all nvidia drives no mather what. So i think that there is no way to just clean the one set of drivers.

Btw. Why you install two set of drivers since you got two nvidia cards then one set of drivers would do. Unless nvidia has dropped the support for that fx5200

Hello,
Thanks for your answer .
This is my problem : Nvidia as 2 different drivers the 96.85 for a FX 5200 card and a 169.25 for the 7800 GS.
2 Possibilities (I have tried both)
1/ I first load the 96.85 as result it is installed on BOTH cards , then I try to load the 169.25 on the GS BUT this does not work correctly as a diver is already installed on the 7800 GS.
2/ I first load the 169.25 only the 7800 GS is loaded (the FX is NOT supported) , afterwards I load the 96.85 on the FX ... BUT it also loads on the 7800 GS .. Why ? I do not know... so I am in a catch 22 situation ...

Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

the reason is rather simple. The drivers are using same file names. Thats why the other overwrites the other.

Hi,

it is not possible to only clean 1 card. Liek temeteus says nvidia uses the same filenames in all drivers so the drivers will overwrite eachother.

Hello, Solved
I repaced the FX5200 with a FX6200 .
The FX 6200 is still using the same drivers than the other card.
Thanks
