Beware of Driver Sweeper on Windows 7

Posted on Tuesday, January 25 2011 @ 3:00 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
If you're using Driver Sweeper to clean up drivers on Windows 7, be aware that Driver Sweeper may prevent you from installing service packs. Driver Sweeper wipes Windows 7's built-in display drivers, which are considered as "system files". Service pack 1 and upcoming service packs run integrity check on system files, and if it detects any missing files – it won't let you install and display the following error message: Service Pack Installation Cannot Continue (one or more system components that service pack requires are missing).
