hello again
I was just checking the programs and features and found this annoying in my mind why its showing 4.13GB just for drivers. Does anybody else got the same thing?

I don't think it's a bug. I just think that they don't delete the older driver's files when you install the new driver. Anyway, I personally never uninstalled the old driver before installing the new and it always worked no problems, even if I should uninstall first.

Meh, shows the same thing:

Nvidia Drivers: 3.25Gb
Nvidia PhysX: 124Mb
Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D Driver 12.4Mb

Or maybe it's a bug, I have another big file in there that is showing the normal size.

Ah ok thx for clarifying archie. Ya I thought of uninstalling the blank looking ones but with my luck no ty :p I have heard disabling PhysX is good, Hardly any games use it and systems aren't able to keep up with the heat it puts out.
