What drivers in particular?

Were the programs removed thoroughly? Usually remnants will be left behind no matter what removal tool was used.

It was an nvidia driver and i cant think of the other one but the laptop this is on is an hp 15 f272wm notebook that doesn't have any nvidia drivers so im hoping its a compatibility issue with 8.1 and autoruns if its not then i should probably delete the nvidia dri ers id assume lol

Not sure why you're getting those show up if there were never any installed.

Thats what im saying i wonder if it has to do with the updates i downloaded and installed from wh downloader. If there was an update or something that was a fix for nvidia cards

It's a possibility I suppose, never encountered it before so wouldn't know for sure.

It wouldn't be compatibility issue with windows 8.1 and autoruns? I just dont want to start doing stuff to find a solution and really autoruns labled my driver as nvidia and its not

[GuiltySpark]

Well autoruns is designed for Vista+ so you may have to contact the creator Mark (can't remember his name) and ask him in case it is a bug.
