2) The WDM driver is missing in Catalyst 6.9 (the WDM_SP directory in the driver, that is), I'll keep on using the one from Catalyst 6.6, since that's the latest version in which it was included (although it's the same driver as the on in Catalyst 6.5, it has not been updated since 2004!). The WDM driver in the directory AVS_T200 is however still included in Catalyst 6.9, so I will keep on updating that driver.

Either I'm totally off and missed the huge thing that explains it all or there is indeed a version difference, as I posted...

DriverVer=04/04/2006, 6.14.10.1064
VS
DriverVer=07/06/2006, 6.14.10.1073

Or what is that file in the WDM dir for?

I'll guess I'll have to sleep over this first big_smile

Anyway, just checked and the WDM dir is indeed missing from the *FULL* file yikes

How could that happen?
Good thing I didn't update yet (no new MMC, no updating, my simple rules wink)

Or did they simply move the files to the main dir?
Because I do recognize a few files from there (AVS_T200.ini, atirt2xp.inf, ...)
Version included is DriverVer=08/01/2006, 6.14.10.1074, btw, just for comparison's sake.
So it's newer than that of 6.8.

Conclusion: one WDM driver was missing, NONE were outdated.

Hm, I'd really like to believe you but I'm not convinced, yet ;P

Guess I will have to try it for myself... wink

I only forgot the WDM driver in the old Catalyst 6.5 driver in DriverPack Graphics B! wink And no, I won't forget it again.

But if you see this thread (http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=651), how do you explain the missing and outdated files in DriverPack Graphics A I encountered?

I did not however try whether they install correctly since I don't have the proper card in my test machine...

Yeah, personally, I found the old DL pages (as they were until some three years ago?) much more convenient.
Sure, this interactive script certainly does have its advantages here and there but I still prefer a simple ati.com/downloads/[currentdriverver] kind of structure for just DL'ing the drivers.

For tech support, Knowledge Bases etc this one may be superior but also much more confusing for the average user IMO.

If you see in the image, there are 2 devices, one is Brother MFC-... (i know that is not included in the driverpacks), and the other is an USb device to which i refered.
Are the same?

Can't speak for borther but I know for my hp printer, there's two devices, too.

One is the actual printer and the other is the USB host driver for printers, which sort of emulates a parallel port, I guess (much like it emulates a serial port for my mobile if connected via USB, I guess).

Both of them should be covered by the brother printer, so try to get that printer installed first, then come back for any missing devices smile

Ok, then apparently Bâshrat the Sneaky forgot to update the files somehow smile

You can easily find out which folder to look into by going to this page:

Apparently, there's no driver version given ATM for the devices in question...


Bâsh, please fix smile

In the meantime, I think you can just exchange the files with the newer ones, then repack the WLAN DP.

Huh?

The current (at least last time I checked...) version is 10.1.5.59, which correlates with the version included in the DP.

Or did you end up getting 10.1.1.3 installed somehow?

Anything you want, really.
It doesn't matter, however, I would not use any non-alphabet symbols or leave it blank for compatibility.

EDIT:ok it work i format my computer and reinstall and it will detect all driver but space use about 3.5gb..

The price you'll have to pay...
Or you could do without KTD, that will use over 1GB less space.

so can i delete driver pack on my c drive?

If they are still on your HDD, youcan of course delete them once you slipstreamed them into a CD.
Other than that, using KTD, drivers will get stored to %systemroot%\driverpacks.
You could, of course delete them from there, however IDK whether that could cause an error should new hardware get found some day...

few question how to  add some app to my windows xp cd?like messenger anti virus,microsoft office etc..

That's the wrong forum for this kind of stuff, may I hand you over to http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/ as they deal exactly with this kind of stuff?

and i use the driverpacks not with the "driverpacks base"..
i extract them and use my selfmade tool and with my selfmade setup.exe to search for the correct drivers in the dir with all the extracted driverpacks folders and it adds the correct paths into the registry ^^

Oh, I see.
That way, if there's an exception to be applied, it won't obviously, as that's all been ahndled by the BASE.

works perfect but there are no wdm files for my card.
i have to add them into the dir by hand

Did you already try the \D\G\A\1\WDM\ path out of DP_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32_609.7z?
That's where the WDMs are stored.

If those DO NOT work, they probably are incompatible with the pre-9600 cards which means Bâshrat the Sneaky has to add those older WDMs for complete compatibility.

ps: thx ^^ good to know

Yeah, keep up the great work! smile



EDIT:

Just compared the .INF files...

The one currently included in Graphics A:

; ATINTWDM.inf
; Win98/Win2000 Drivers for ATI AIW, AIWPro, TV Wonder, and ViVo video capture and playback devices
; Copyright 2002, ATI Technologies Inc.

Provider=%atitech%
DriverVer=08/03/2004, 6.14.10.6246

The one from the 6.5 WDM pack:

; ATINTWDM.inf
; Win98/Win2000 Drivers for ATI AIW, AIWPro, TV Wonder, and ViVo video capture and playback devices
; Copyright 2002, ATI Technologies Inc.

Provider=%atitech%
DriverVer=08/03/2004, 6.14.10.6246

So far identical, however, the 6.5 also contain another .INF, atirt2xp.inf

as well as several other files not present in the DP G A pack...



The 6.8 WDM pack contains the following info in the atirt2xp.INF:

CatalogFile=atirt2xp.cat

DriverVer=07/06/2006, 6.14.10.1073

That all leads me to the conclusion that the WDMs included in DP G A are both outdated as well as incomplete.
They definately require some action from you, Bâshrat the Sneaky!

i mean like can i download all driverpack then just let windows search my driver automatically?

Basically, that's how it works.
You use this tool (the BASE) to integrate ("slipstream") the drivers into your XPCD (which has to be copied to your HDD first, as you cannot write on the CD wink) and when that is done, Windows will treat those drivers the same way as those already supplied on your disc.
So, you only update them, so to speak.

It works all automatically and unless there's a bug, it will install all those drivers without further ado during XP installation, no user input required!

Oh, are they not included?

It's been a while since I installed on the machine equipped with my AIW 8500DV, but I do remember it did install the WDMs back then.

I would think they are in simply because they are part of the CATALYST pack...



Alright, I just checked and the Graphics pack A does contain the WDM folder, so logic would dictate (unless Bâshrat the Sneaky srewed it up completely wink) the same can be said about the actual driver files.

Since your card is a pre-9600 one, it is not supported by the latest CAT drivers (only <=6.5 will work).
This shouldn't be a problem for the WDMs, though, however, Bâshrat the Sneaky moved (or planned to do so) the pre-9600 drivers to Graphics Pack B, which, however, does NOT contain the WDM folder (not that it had to, as A already does so it could be taken from there, same as with the CP/CCC).

Now, what I'm guessing is there's either an exception missing to properly apply the WDMs on pre-9600 cards OR you didn't include Graphics Pack A.

Note to Bâshrat the Sneaky: WDMs are not only needed for AIW cards but VIVO ones as well, so there's quite a lot of users who'd rely on them.

Anyway, please give us more info about the included packs and post your finisher.LOG (which will also include the needed HWIDs).




PS: Congrats on your latest Update Pack, Sereby!

Yeah, I haven't dealt with thise too much, either, but would be interested to learn about it smile

All I know is that it requires the PC to be able to boot from the NIC (which will disqualify some systems) and you'll have to setup a special installation server from where it will get the boot image.

But what and how to do is completely beyond me ATM.
Then again, I haven't had the time to get any deeper into this anyway, so if someone could do a quick and dirty tut on this (just the basics, as I'm not computer illiterate otherwise wink, that would be fabulous!

Solid Archive does not have anything to do whether you create an ordinary of SFX archive.

Unless you want to extract specific files out of an archive or later add or remove files, Solid Archive is recommended since it will allow for greater compression.

Ususally, you should max all options, with respect to your maximum RAM size regarding Dictionary Size (RAM loadout will increase greatly once you push this so be careful not to exceed your physical RAM!).

Hehe, maybe he added some of them this time.
Dunno whether he either forgot or was just busy since it took him quite a while to release this new version.

Anyhow, I'm aware of the problems with the Mobility driver, hence people in immediate need could use this tool to get it (hopefully) to work in the meantime.

Also, it was very clear to me you didn't apply them each time, that sounds like a waste wink
Obviously, only a new driver version would require reapplying and even then you could re-use the old INF file if nothing serious changed.

Was mearely meant as a heads-up, not trying to force you to anything big_smile

Fort anyone who cares as well as for Bâshrat the Sneaky (because I know he's using it to create the Mobility-compatible drivers wink), after quite a long time, a new version of the ATi Mobility Modder has been released.

In a glimpse, it allows you to use the default ATi CATALYST drivers on virtually any notebook (eg for the Mobility Radeon cards).
This is a pretty good think because ATi's own Mobility driver only works on a handful of NB models and NB manufaturers ususally only have a year old drivers for DL sad

Get the good right here:

Aren't Matrox cards supposed to be installed ONLY after the windows install is complete?
Otherwise it will pick up the firewire on the card as a standard firewire jack (which it is not). true?
Or is the version of cards without the extra firewire?

Not directly related and just FYI:

I certainly haven't had an issue with my old AIW R8500 DV, which also featured two FW ports (which was quite an innovation back in the day when most PC users hadn't heared of FW before).

Thankfully, they appear to be standard jacks (6 pins) and you can also selectively disable them on the board with DIP switches.
