Driver Cleaner Pro not working on Vista 64 bit

I'm trying to remove some nVidia video drivers using Driver Cleaner Pro and they don't seem to be working on Vista 64 bit. Does Driver Cleaner Pro work with Vista x64?

Or is there any other program that I can use to uninstall or clean my drivers?

yes, Driver Cleaner Pro works comfortably with Vista 64 bit. but if it hang you on than theres a good program for the same called "driver sweeper".

Driver Sweeper is a fast tool to remove driver leftovers from your system. It's very important to remove your drivers on a proper way, because driver leftovers can cause problems like stability and startup problems. You can use it if you want to update/remove drivers from your system.

Download Driver Sweeper

Driver Sweeper sweeps through your system, finds old drivers, then lets you remove them. For safety sake, it backs them up as well, so that you can restore them, if need be.

There are two methods to use Driver Sweeper.
Both methods achieve the same results. This method is always able to clean all files.This method will delete remaining files upon reboot (if deleting failed). You can clean your drivers this way:
  • Use the official uninstaller(s) of the driver(s) you want to uninstall.

  • Reboot your PC in Safe Mode.

  • Run Driver Sweeper and select what to clean.

  • Analyse lists all the entries possible to remove, cleaning removes the entries selected.

  • More drivers can be selected for the same cleaning process.

Driver Sweeper is very useful. The current supported drivers are NVIDIA (Display and Chipset), ATI (Display), Creative (Sound) Realtek (Sound), Ageia (PhysX) and Microsoft (Mouse).

All the settings are saved in an ini file. Nothing is created in the registry, so it's possible to use it as a portable program. Log files can be saved to the harddisk and viewed as well. You can find the logs under the Tools menu.
