Windows Assessment Console. Drivers
I have just done the 5-minute analysis of "Driver Verification" and I
get 14 driver results... http://tinypic.com/m/izavdt/1 Can I safely delete these drivers? |

No, what you start by doing, is open up the INF file in question. C:\WINDOWS\inf\OEM1.inf Those are anonymized INF files. When Windows installs RealTek.inf, to prevent a name collision in the inf folder, it changes the file name and uses the word "OEM" plus a number. To discover what driver that might be, you open C:\WINDOWS\inf\OEM1.inf with notepad, and the actual OEM filename will be near the top of the text file. Based on that filename, you can then guess as to which actual installer it came from. And why that installation is no longer used. Paul |
