Thanks Jaak.
Yes, This is definitely a long thread to read from end to end.
It's main intent was to get the test DriverPacks out into the open for 'non-testers' to test for us, since we have a limited number of 'official' test-team members.
Because of the experimental nature of future DriverPacks, it might be better to remove the links and close this thread.

Oh, and the 174.53 drivers only officially support the 9800 series cards. We've been tinkering with them for mainstream cards and testing continues. But typically we will ONLY release DriverPacks containing WHQL drivers that have FULL support from the vendor. We never use beta drivers and only use 'cross-pollinated' drivers as an experiment.
It's unfortunate that nVidia chose to release newer drivers for ONLY the 9800 series cards. That means we won't see 'Unified' drivers for another month.

Stability is our ultimate goal.

personally, I thought we should have a new topic for the next testpack ot "The RC.."

(The info in this topic covered quite a few test versions and some of these already got published... but the reader has to wade thru all the old info?).

But hey, it serves a purpose as well. The reader can get an idea about how difficult it can be to get it to work.
Erik deserved my respect long ago. I hope you realise how hard he worked for free.

the main question is... did that fix your issue??? your getting .net installed now?

I use RogueSpear's .NET2 installer from here.
I install it during T-13 svcpack. Just drag the .exe installer to the i386\svcpack folder, then make an entry in i386\svcpack.inf (may be compressed into svcpack.in_) in the [SetupHotfixesToRun] section.
Instructions can be found on msfn here.

Hi
I use RVM when I want it integrated.
I don't use the addon when I don't want it integrated, and then I select the DriverPacks option that does not need it.

Hmmmmm, I cannot locate a link to this addon for English users.

hm, i know this is going to be little off topic..........

If you plan to use the new ATI CCC, you MUST have .NET installed for it to work properly. Private testing has proved that ATI CCC will not install properly if .NET is integrated at GUIRunOnce or at RunOnceEx, but integrating .NET at SVCPACK (T-13) was successful. If you would/would not like to see .NET integrated into the DriverPacks, please leave us feedback.

where can i find a tutorial how to integrate .net frameowrk 2 and 3????
i was searching over at msfn.org but didn't have any luck
thank in advance

and again, sorry for the OT
cheers

the problem is not the driver for the video card per se.

I belive the problem is the video card drivers support for your monitor see this thread...

http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2208

It seems from your screen shot that you might be useing a wide screen?

It may be that this is a result of the image that you used is not the correct size / format, and can not be fixed without replaceing the image itself. It seems that you have changed the default image used for boot and shut down and it may be that you created your own problem by changing it.

Hi
I think I know what he means.
I have seen this white line (where the progress should show) while windows starts on other old computers, way before I used DriverPacks, and installing the driver did not get rid of that.

Can you let us know if there is a problem once windows runs?
Did the driver load OK?
If NOT.. Does removing "our" driver and installing another driver fix this?
