Just dumb luck, and I back everything up regularly...

please post your
DPs_BASE.ini
DPs_BASE.log

and HWID for the mass storage on your mini-PC

I am quite certain that textmode drivers are not added from a 3rd party DriverPack

TIA

you are able to edit the mass storage pack.

you can delete whatever folders you want
as long as you also delete the reference to the folder in the mass storage INI that is in the pack as well

i think this is what your asking... I am not certain...

you may be on to something... chipset may hold the key.

perhaps the ATI smbus...

So Vista is still a huge mess... typical for MS OS release.

i remember when they released 2000
and they did so with Sixty Four THOUSAND [64,000] KNOWN bugs
(plus the ones reported after release)

It is amazing Linux or someone like Sun/Solaris has not simply crushed them.

at some point their enemies will band together and make it happen. It's just a matter of them achieving critical mass.
Mac, Novel, Netscape, Citrix and a slew of others who have been victimized over the years.
if MS can't buy them they create a substitute and include it for free.
A slow and painful death for the competition and no viable recourse, at the very least it's heartless, at most it's evil.
I believe lack of third party software support for alternate Os's has been a stumbling block.
more and more software providers are now writing their apps for Linux / Mac (OS 10 is Linux based, and was written on an i386 PC)
I also believe that novel has jumped on the Linux bandwagon too.

They have a total lack of respect for, their users, the software providers that depend on them, and their competition.
I am a firm believer in what goes around comes around... it will happen in our lifetime.

Unfortunately there is no viable substitute to offer my clients, at least not today...
PS i still think Vista is destined to end up next to ME in the history books and I sincerely hope that 2009 brings happiness to all.

i like the case side support idea
and then the case itself could become part of the heat sink, hee hee

the error he saw should show up all the time or not at all... it is strange

they are supposed to be in the changelog in the pack itself.

some of our newer contributers do not know they are supposed to update it.
and sometimes it just gets forgotten.

so they are mostly up to date and in the packs.

when a team member anounces that they have been repacked then the changelog should be current.

you are correct only the folder you mentioned needs deleted

try two things please
turn off qsc and see if that cures it
see if you can find and zip or rar or whatever the file to verify it exists and is not corrupted.

Do you have plenty of free space on the drive/partition that base run from.

you helped me
i was not aware that just the existence of the section header itself [unattended] would prevent the repair prompt.

it is very important to cleanup.
IE driverpacks is run multiple times on the same source. Then it must be removed before it can be added again.
Some of files are line edited some are backed up and restored in the process.

many hours of the code work in RC3 is spent on streamlining this particular section of the code.
many of the modules contained similar yet unique routines that are being consolidated into logical subroutines.
i believe the process will eliminate anomalies that show up as strange problems and eliminate some unreported ones.

for example the mass storage INI has drivers tagged as exceptions. skip / replace / disable
in 752 the INI for the current driverpack is used to remove the old mass storage drivers.
i now copy the current INI to i386 in this way the same exceptions are used as when it was installed.
90% of the time the exceptions are not changed or deleted, but if they did change the removal or restore could be affected.
IE if an existing driver was changed to skip in the mass INI it would not be removed before resliptreaming.
(and thus not really skipped at all) or if it was changed from replace to skip then it would not get restored. (and still would not be skipped)

this was unreported as a problem but i thought it should be fixed...
stuff like that and the restore option - which can be addressed while i am working on this section.

i think that it makes sense to avoid crippling windows features without any reason.

well it might have been nice to tell me - silly boy...

RC = Request for comments...

Ill update it (now that i know)

i may make this a feature... if i were to code it that way -hmmm
