DOOO ! check out your NVIDIA folders -
If you have or ever had NVIDIA graphics on Your Windows (any version)
New drivers Install leaves all the older stuff uninstalled.
It often amounts to many Giga Bytes.

I haven't been following this thread, so I don't know if it's already
been mentioned, but what in the world are you doing with Windows XP
and 7 in the year 2015?

Windows 8 has Refresh and Reset features which would solve issues of
polluted machines.

Either that or you could just quit running warez :)

Windows 8 was released in October 2012 and is already being replaced
by Windows 10 at that time this year. That turnaround puts it
neck-and-neck with ME as Microsofts biggest blunder.

If you got it bundled on a system, I guess you deal with it (HP
offered 7 again after 8's horrible reception), but only idiots
willingly chose it over Windows 7/64.

No you clearly have not.
Go & read my OP please.

And no doubt you clean out the junk from NVIDIA folders.
And are maybe one of the few people ever who understands  INTEL's  MEI 
"Management Engine Driver"
& why the Hell it tries to get on every Computer.
Windows 8 won't.

Trimble try to understand that when a message consists of bad
formatting such as random capitalization of terms, random line break
lengths, repeating clusters of exagerated punctuation, inappropriate
usage of special characters like @ signs all over the place, it's hard
for the average busy person to get excited and inspired to read
through the entire message once, much less twice.

You were complaining about a number of things *other than* just Nvidia
related clutter in your original post that would be solved by my
suggestion, and only a few weeks back you were talking about needing
to completely reformat and reinstall your rigs every so often because
they get so cluttered and misconfigured so quickly, for which my
suggestions also offers a solution.

I'm not trying to twist your arm to actually do it, I'm just letting
you know a better solution is out there.

My previous gaming rig has gone more than six years without a reformat
or reinstall, and that was a system that had been migrated from Vista
to Win7 to Win8 to Win8.1.  It has had terabytes upon terabytes of
shit installed and uninstalled on and off over the years.  It's still
running today and is still as fast and as stable as when I purchased
it in 2009.  One of the keys to a trouble-free system is to not
install illegal/cracked software.  I don't really mind if people
insist on screwing up their machines, then blaming the OS vendor or
software companies for their woes, but does it make me evil that I
feel compelled to at least offer them the chance to learn about a
solution to their problems?

If you devalue your own time enough to install cracked warez in the
first place, the Reset/Refresh feature I mentioned in Windows 8x would
be invaluable to you.

As far as Intel MEI and what it is, here is some reading for you. Hope
it helps:

Those Intel MEI  articles make me want to quit English for some other 
language.
There such a Horrible mash of empty Wordage .
Sounds impressive & detailed. Contains no real information at all.

Now comfort me....@@))__ someone say that they HAVE checked there NVIDIA
folders & cleaned up if needed.

    I have done this in the past also (amd user now), and there was another 
how-to on how to clean up a windows folder that had many old .scv (or 
somesuch) files hanging around.  That freed up quite a bit also.
