Hello, I am trying to use DDU (18.0.0.4) on a Windows XP gaming build but after clicking any of the buttons to uninstall Nvidia 260 drivers, the program immediately crashes right after a brief creating restore point window pops up and there is no error log that i can find.

My specs:
Windows XP Professional 32bit (with service packs 1,2 and 3)
Intel Core2 Quad
EVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW mobo
current GPU: XFX Geforce 9800 GT 512mb
old GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 260 768mb
4gb dual channel (2x2gb) RAM
creative Sounblaster LIVE supporting EAX 1 and 2
240gb SSD for boot and 1tb Segate Barracuda Compute for game (idk if these last 3 specs help at all)

i am trying to use DDU to uninstall the current drivers as im trying to install the drivers for the 9800GT through Snappy Driver Installer Origin but it keeps erroring out during install due to most likely the gtx 260 drivers conflicting
:(

Be sure you have the most recent .net framework that can be installed for Windows xp
