Hey there.

What a coincidence!

I just posted about the same problem here (http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2857) (you may not be able to view this as it's in the testers forum).

My source is also a Dell OEM CD, albeit with XPSP2 that I manually slipstreamed to SP3 using nLite (maybe this has to do with it, who knows).
I don't remember getting this error the last time I worked with this source.
I am using the nightly BASE 8.06, but was also doing so last time.

I suspect this error must either have come from a newer DP (as compared to my last slip) or from an addon I am using.
Have you added/modified anything on your source except for SP3 and then BASE slip?

Did you include the .NET libraries in your disc?
It is essential they are included via an addon and installed at T-13 (if possible).

You can disable the Singed Driver's Policy in nLite - that's what I recommend to do regardless of whether you use unsigned ones or not.
Thing is, if you happen to use a non-signed one unknowingly, XP will pick the signed one over it even if that turns out to be (much) older.
Probably not what you'd want if you already make the effort to integrate them.

Personally, I see little gain in having XP not installing unsigned drivers automatically - well, as long as you know what you're doing anyhow.
A signed driver does NOT mean it's bug-free or anything.
It can still cause your system to BSOD so it guarantees you little.
While most drivers are indeed signed, editing the INF file or leaving the CAT behind will break WHQL certification.

As long as you stick to the latest official (non-beta) drivers you should be fine in most cases, WHQL or not

Well, you really don't NEED the DriverPacks on a VM.
Only thing required is to install the VM Addon to make all devices work.
It's virtual HW and DriverPacks are only for the real thing.

Try on a real machine and you will see it work just as I described in my earlier post.

Server 2003 already supports a lot more MassStorage Controllers than XP does.
At least on the systems I tested, I never needed additional drivers to make it detect the RAID controllers etc.

Best is to [CTRL]+[A]&[CTRL]+[C] your typing before submitting so you can easily restore it by going "back" in your browser, pasting and resubmitting.

AVG seems to spot more false positives than it does spot real infections.
One has to question the usefulness of such a programme because in the end it will desensitise the user ("ah, it's very well just another of those darn false-positives, so I'll ignore that alarm") making the entire idea of alarms rather pointless.

You'll be better off using another anti-virus programme such as NOD32 (personal pick of mine) or none at all, I figure...

Hey, did you guys incorporate the AGP hotfix drivers (or rather the INF and reg entries) again?
As the 8.5 Hotfix have been released  (http://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAn … onID=31542), I'm beginning to wonder whether the changes from official drivers to hotfix ones actually do change as the version counter increases or if it's just the same over and over again (meaning no additional work for us regarding this issue).
Still puzzles me when and if ATi will be as graceful to finally incorporate support into the official drivers (not that I mind much if the keep up with the monthly release schedule...).

I'd think so.

A lot of Translators haven't updated their files lately (including myself with a long-time delay...).
Thing is, there we quite some changes (new entries) to the LNG files, however, there never was an official announcement send out to the translators.
Now, I did catch news of this because I try to read all of the forum posts (Mod duty), so I noticed the complaints, plus, I was notified by two users via my contact details from my forum profile.

While there is info given about any Translator in the about section, either no one has taken the task to notify them (don't be shy, I'm sure they'll be glad to be told about it!) or they just aren't around anymore.
As there wasn't much to translate for a long time, many probably became lurkers or don't read the forum regularly at all and simply forgot about their "job" (which mainly was thought to be a one-time task anyway).

While I do parle un peut Français, I'd rather not try messing with the LNG file as it would probably turn out to sound too Germanesque, scarring some Frenchmen away

So, either try getting in touch with the original Translator or just edit the file yourself.
I'd suggest contacting an Admin if you want to become a new/additional Translator for a langauge and I doubt any of the old Translators do mind continuing to work on their file if they do not reply to your request within one week (whows they either lost interest or are busy otherwise).

You must have system and hidden files being enabled to show for a proper copy of all (100%) of the disc's content.
Either enable that in Explorer's settings or make use of, say, nLite, for the task to copy from the disc to the HDD (that will definately copy all files regardless of Explorer's settings).
