MSI Drivers just wont go!

[maby66]

I recently tried MSI Nvidia drivers for my SLI 6800GT set up.
I'm not happy with them, but can't seem to eliminate them!
I am continually seeing the MSI Vivid, Clock and Information tabs in Display Properties, despite uninstalling thru Add/Remove, using Driver Cleaner Pro and even booting into safe mode and doing the above.
I have managed to install Nivida 91.47, but am getting random BSOD/crash/memory leak problems - I'm assuming due to the remnants of the MSI.
Any thoughts?

Download driver cleaner as that will clean up any remnants of anything still on your system.

Thanks for responding, but I'm using Driver Cleaner Pro already = even uninstalled my version and got an updated one in case that was an issue!
I'm sure my problem is due to using these poxy MSI Nvidia drivers........never seen the MSI Clock/Vivid tabs before, and now I can't get rid of them!

And i thought D/C got rid of everything! Anyone else?

dc does a half assed job itself.
thers nothing like manually deleteing all files and playing around in the registry to get the adrenaline pumping

Hmm never been keen on going the manual route just in case i deleted something i shouldnt of!

They will if you do a re-install.

And what a load of hassle that is, but could be the only way.

Found this on Guru3D:

Update April 12th 2006 Having troubles uninstalling "MSI Information" "MSI Clock" and "MSI Vivid" after installing another driver ?

Solution: in your system32 folder there is are file called:

msicpl.dll
Nvgpio.dll
sw20.exe
sw24.exe
WinSys.exe
sysinfo.sys
sysinfoX64.sys
sysinfo.vxd
sysinfo.dll

Just find them and delete them.

Have done so and fingers crossed it has removed them - will test with some BF2 and see if it improves stability....

Good luck, hope you get it sorted.
