Are you saying your network card will not disconnect? (is this really a problem?)

The X-Fi is supported and is one of the drivers we have trouble with

it supports three entire lines of cards (semi-unified)
each line has its own CP installer...
we always have trouble updateing this pack because we need at least three testers.
if memory serves me correctly it supports Live, X-Fi and Audigy...

it is very possable we did not have a tester for the x-fi control panel at the time of release.
however the driver should get installed smile

that may be the first screen shot i ever saw that was done with a camera... Nice!

Clearly he is from Sydney, Australia -
last time i checked it was not even the same continent... lol

so can we agree that it is 100% down for Arizona?
and Arizona is 1% of the world... LOL

presetup will never run from winnt32  wink so you cant use M2

ONLY M1 will work wink for an unattended drivers first install


OR... SAD
(with sad you can select m2 - sad does not use presetup.cmd wink)
(the technical term for this is a software first install :-)
however we can use SAD in an unnattended way...
We call it from a runonceex or guirunonce call

like In Example:

1) assuming the \DriverPacks.net\ (SAD) folder was copied to the local machine (M1 or M2)

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY%\996 /V 1 /D "cmd /c start /wait %systemdrive%\DriverPacks.net\DP_Install_Tool.cmd"


2) Or a network location (if you have created a Method 2 (M2) SAD only)

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY%\996 /V 1 /D "cmd /c start /wait \\MyServer\ShareName\DriverPacks.net\DP_Install_Tool.cmd"

or   

there is a better topic than the one you were looking at over here...

OT:
Hey Jaak i just thought of a better name than SAD
I now Like the Acronym SoFI (pronounced Sofie)
Software First Installer

its just a missed translation... it should say that it is Not redistributable...

But i don't think they going to bother you about that particular file...

Stu Is correct...

We will leave this thread avalable to any who require this.
and they can just add it manualy if desired...

good post Grunger.
                              I love it when i see good details

it's an excellent point

let's think in terms of a Legacy "CRT pack"   and  a "Monitor pack" (LCD or better)

I kill autorun myself... wink we are so alike in our config preferences... lol

But if there is any interest it would be a "Slam Dunk" to code... wink

bump... great idea...!

so... thinking out loud...

i create Autorun.inf containing the lines

[AutoRun]
open=autorun.cmd

autorun.cmd would contain these lines

@ECHO OFF

Thanks for provideing the HWID's it makes it much easier to figure out what is happening!

if yo have a driver that is known good and working for these machines may we have a link to it? (prefer OEM or reference  source)
which sound packs did you use (version numbers please)

it is a fair guess that a generic substitition is happening...

as Jaak always says "help us to help you"

Thanks for the feedback

that is what the 3rd party DriverPack ftp site is for wink

Yeah me too... took four trys to get it to work...

i would like to see the stats at the end of this month wink
since we havent released an graphics packs in 6 months
they are probably just getting slaughtered with requests...

I also see this on their news page

SimpleCDN News & System Updates Center
SimpleCDN European Server Update
September 17, 2008

Perhaps they are haveing some issues as a result of the upgrade...
I just checked and it seems like the paris server is unavailable.
however Chicago and Los Angeles were available but still 503ed me.

i thought it was possable our files got eaten
and i re-uploaded them last night (perhaps giving it a swift kick)...
but that seemed to be no help either...

All edge servers have the same IP address, which is why download servers will always be resolved to the same IP address.

When a request is made to a download server, your ISP will automatically route the packet to the closest SimpleCDN Peering Point, and then we'll route your packet to the closest edge server.

i also tried to cheat and link directly to the edge servers to no avail...
we will have to see what Bâshrat the Sneaky finds out...

Nope... we have to wait on Bâshrat the Sneaky to resolve this for us...

I can offer you this much insight into the situation

We know that we average well over 32,000 downloads a day, everyday. (a million downloads a month)...
The downloads are working for the majority of us...

My best guess is that if 3 people are reporting an issue then there is probably about a 100:1 lurker ratio. Infering that 300 users are affected or 1%. I / We consider that a serious problem, and we are working to resolve it.

However, since tens of thousands of users are still getting the files, there must be a way for you to get there too! 
can you try it from a different location...?

Thanks for letting us know the issue persists

I am sorry that you are having trouble.

Wow... Nice job!

I belive he means select DISK not BartPE

you are correct the bartpe output would not be ready for use if it were not first processed by PEbuilder...

and base doesnt look for an i386 folder to validate a bartpe plugin *it looks for PE duh... wink

So the only logical conclusion is he meant DISK.... big_smile
