If you mean the SATA controller, there is no problem on my PC. Can you post your HWID of your host machine?

You're never going to get those control panels in VM. They'll only install on real ATI or Nvidia hardware.

These are *not* final DriverPacks! They're RC's!
Well, that's news to me. 
The graphics DriverPacks (lang & PhysX inc.) are solid and cleaned. The only issue that I see is that I built them with a 1024 dictionary size with 7z. I'll repackage them with a 256 dictionary size and they'll be good to go. Unless Overflow has some major changes to DriverPacks BASE up his sleeve we're not aware of.

Be patient abdou. It's the holiday season. We all have better things to do than sit in front of a computer all day. Like I wrote in the first post, the final DriverPacks can be found here until the main server gets updated.

Yes, by similar they mean .sys .inf .chm etc. All of which are present in all the DriverPacks

I'm sorry, I don't know if I can help you. It's not my installer.
You could try Nvidia's support forums.

Re: Copy OEM folder contents to HD before "fake setup"? (57 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
OK, fair enough. So what would be the ideal dictionary size? What's the standard XP PC come with? 256Mb? 512MB?
I'm willing to repack and upload, but over the holidays I just don't have the time to do extensive testing.
Once we come up with a figure, this needs to get documented in the DriverPacks team threads.

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX) (15 replies, posted in 3rd Party DriverPacks)
OK, well it's an .msi based installer. Executing physx.exe /? will give you the options screen.
This looks helpful:
/j<u|m> <Product.msi> [/t <Transform List>] [/g <Language ID>]
Advertises a product - m to all users, u to current user
So this might work:
"physx.exe /v/qb /g 1032"
Or, you could do: "physx.exe /a"
and do an administrative install point to a folder, then rebuild the sfx and use the /qb switch. Nvidia didn't document the language functions very well (or at all).

Re: Copy OEM folder contents to HD before "fake setup"? (57 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I used a 1 GB dictionary size to compress all the graphics DriverPacks. I haven't read anything that says the dictionary size slows down decompression. I'll have to reread the doc.

Re: DriverPacks Activex (2 replies, posted in Other)
The only way this would work is if we had an online database synced to the DriverPacks. It would only work for releases, not for nightlies or betas.
Hopefully, when we migrate to the new server/site, Bâshrat the Sneaky would be able to build the Drupal plugin to make this happen.
But that's up to the boss.

Re: It's time: Vista DriverPacks x86 & x64!! (34 replies, posted in News)
Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool was designed for Windows 7, and because Windows 7 is in development and "invitation only" testing, the tools are also not allowed to be distributed until widespread public beta status. DISM is set to replace WAIK, so it should be a free download once final.
Having said that, I don't see DISM included in the Vista-Tool, so this is not a problem...currently.
Jaak/Muiz, I know you two have personal issues. But please don't allow them to obstruct progress. Muiz has been doing the Vista DriverPacks on his own for a while. If he wants to bring them back to the 'family' so be it. The prodigal son returns.
Shahed, I don't know you either, but welcome to the team.
Source code should be made available to the "Code team" for peer review. DriverPacks development should be posted in the "Testing team" threads prior to release. Our methods are well known and the quality of the DriverPacks show in each release.

It may be possible to use the command line for the language specific options. I have no idea if this will work, but you can try and report back.
"fullpathto\physx.exe /qb transforms=1041.mst" replace 1041 with your language code.

Ignorance is encouraged, rudeness is not. 
Admitting your ignorance, you open the door for education. "I don't know how to do this", "well, let me teach you then".
To verify signatures on a RUNNING XP system, click 'Start'->'Run', then type "sigverif" (without quotes) which will launch the signature verification tool, then click 'Start'.
To verify signatures in a FOLDER using SigVerif.exe, launch it as above, then click 'Advanced', 'Browse' to your folder, click 'Include subfolders', then 'OK'.
Enjoy.

ChiefZeke wrote:
So, here's my question: when Driver Packs are updated for a new Catalyst Control Center does this also include the HDMI Audio drivers?
No.
DriverPack Graphics A does not include any audio drivers (anymore).
DriverPack Sound A includes the ATI HDMI audio drivers. There's a conflict between ATI & RealTek audio drivers. Realtek's reference drivers have many generic HWIDs that may/may not work. These get pruned out of DriverPack Sound A.
This is something the team discused a while ago, and it was decided at that time to keep all audio in DriverPack Sound A & B and all graphics in DriverPack Graphics A, B & C.
But because HDMI is tightly integrated (video/audio), we might need to rethink that.
What's everybody's thoughts?

Re: Moving to the new web server on Sunday (5 replies, posted in News)
As stated in the tutorial, you integrate DriverPacks LAST! If you try to integrate ANYTHING after that (with RVMI, Nlite, etc.) you stand a 90% chance of breaking your source (as you discovered).
Your other option would be to:
1) copy your source dvd to your hdd.
2) run DriverPacks BASE and select NONE DriverPacks (this will effectively remove all traces of DriverPacks from your source)
3) integrate whatever you want.
4) build your ISO and test in VM (VirtualBox is my favorite). This will ensure the integrity of your source.
5) re-integrate DriverPacks by using DriverPacks BASE.
6) repeat step 4 and TEST in VM.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter (353 replies, posted in Software)
I think I found a bug in v3.2.
See this post: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 029#p27029
The HWIDs listed are getting skipped, but the VEN_x&DEV_x&SUBSYS_x strings are getting picked up correctly from what I can tell.
I used both options for CSV and Excel.
Search in Excel for "DEV_5B63" from DriverPack Graphics A and you only find lines with the SUBSYS, not the bare HWID.
