ok. i have G-Skill DDR500 which is working at 520 and i never had a pboblem. last night i spend on changing slots, changing memory, underclocking memory, and testing, testing, testing. so my conclusion after all is that if WINNT.SIF with all integrated drivers is in I386 folder, setup fails, if i remove PNPDRV lines, setup is ok. i don't have a clue what could it be? and why.

Well, if it DOES work when you use method 2, then you'd have convinced me half the way... so just try method 2 as DriverPacks Method and then let uw know if it worked.

P.S.: you speak Russian and you live in Antwerp??? tongue

the problem is in WINNT.SIF. maybe it has something to do with WINNT.SIF limitations. i integrated all the packs including 3rd party, and got blue screen. then i removed PNPDrivers paths in WINNT.SIF and no blue screen.

That's not a valid conclusion. You assume that the cause lies in the very method that is used that allows setup to install drivers. Or more specific: you think it's caused by the way the DriverPack Sound B has applied that method.

Drivers are still being loaded correctly: else you'd have gotten an error about an invalid line in the winnt.sif file. It really is a driver conflict, or a driver that is failing (although that is very unlikely).

EDIT: after searching for '0x8e bsod setupdd.sys' it seems that the best hits even refer to the old DriverPacks forum at MSFN.org tongue One was due to a corrupted CD/ISO, one was due to 'an error in my process of creating the multibootDisc' and the last one was due to faulty RAM.

According to KB315335, it has GOT to be your RAM. So please put some other RAM sticks in it, even if only temporary. This is the resolution, according to Microsoft:

RESOLUTION
To troubleshoot this behavior, follow these steps:
1.    Remove some of the memory modules that are installed on the computer. Leave at least the RAM that is required for the computer to start and run Windows XP.

The recommended RAM to run Windows XP is 128 megabytes (MB). The minimum is 64 MB, and the maximum is 4 gigabytes.

For example, if two 256-MB memory modules are installed on your computer, remove one of the memory modules.
2.    Restart your computer, and then run the Setup program:
a.    Insert the Windows XP Setup CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive, start the computer, and then click OK to select the first option screen to install a copy of Windows XP.
b.    Click Accept, and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete the Windows XP installation.
3.    If you again receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section, go to step 4.
4.    Remove a different memory module, or install the RAM in a different memory slot.
5.    Restart your computer, and then rerun Setup.

You may have to restart your computer several times to identify the specific memory modules that are not working correctly.

I'm sorry, but there isn't much I can do about this!

Latest ForceWare drivers cause system crashes
by Cyril Kowaliski - 12:48 am, July 12, 2006

NVIDIA's latest official ForceWare graphics drivers cause serious system crashes when combined with motherboards based on the new nForce 570 SLI chipset, according to a report at HardOCP. The 'OCP tested two nForce 570 SLI mobos in systems outfitted with the latest nForce 570 SLI/570/550 9.16 platform drivers and ForceWare 91.31 graphics drivers, and in both cases the machines apparently suffered from not only crashes, but also data corruption. According to a Taiwanese source quoted by the site, problems with the new ForceWare drivers also occur in systems with Intel 955X chipsets.
Neither HardOCP nor its Taiwanese source give specifics on the frequency of these problems, but both suggest NVIDIA's ForceWare 91.33 beta drivers—available from the nZone website—fix the problem.

Amusingly, this report comes on the same day as NVIDIA's boastful press release about achieving "excellent" stability results in a Veritest study. NVIDIA says Veritest found that PCs built around the NVIDIA Business Platform passed a high-stress 15-day burn-in test, while one of the competing Intel-based systems failed the same test after 24 hours. Veritest concluded that NVIDIA Business Platform systems were "as stable, if not more stable" than the competition.

The hotfix doesn't fix only the midi software but also other hotfixes.
This is a cumulative hotfix. All previous hotfixes concerning portcls.sys are also supported by this hotfix.

So it is wrong to say that 0.01% of the people are helped by this hotfix.

I am using this hotfix. No problem so far.

Of course it's cumulative... that's always.

I'll implement as soon as RyanVM confirms it's good to go. He's the Updates Master, so his word will make or break it.
