Download
and install CCleaner (free) from Piriform-
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Run
the cleaner to remove old un-needed temp files
Select
the StartUp tab and look for any programs that you know you
installed but no longer use or need, and disable them. Caution, do
not disable any system files unless you absolutely know what they
do and that you do not need them.
Run
the Registry cleaner, when asked if you want to backup the
registry, select YES, and save to a file you will remember just in
case. I have used this program hundreds of time on many different
system and it has never caused a problem, but you want to be safe,
backup the Registry.
If
asked about a particular file that it wants to clean, select "yes
to all"
Reboot
Windows should see the drive and reinstall the drivers.
