I only grab the drivers from the official OEM. I only monitor station drivers to get a heads-up on current status. I RARELY get the drivers from there.

There are newer versions of the Intel drivers out there, but they're beta.
I'll bet DGP is pulling their data from station drivers. Not the best source.

NEVER use nlite to slipstream DriverPacks. It doesn't work.
Use DriverPacks BASE to slipstream DriverPacks LAST, just before building the .iso.

I added the link to the videos back to Rick's signature. 
Nothing like a little shameless advertising, eh Rick!

The answer is both yes & no.

Intel does not provide Win7-specific drivers. BUT, it MAY work in a default install after updating drivers using Windows Update

Re: 7Lite? (11 replies, posted in Other)
Indeed. Win7 blows away XP and definitely Vista. DISM will handle all your component removals with ease. You just need to get a handle on the command-line.
The only reason I haven't switched my wifes notebook over to Win7 is because it has a stupid media control strip on the left and quick launch buttons on the right of the keyboard which is controlled by an XP-only app. She insists on using them, so she's stuck with XP.

It's a problem with how cdn propagates the files among it's servers. Give it another day. If not, I'll rename the file on the server and refresh the link.

Re: printer drivers etc etc (4 replies, posted in Software)
You can integrate all the main DriverPacks without problems. If you integrate any Third Party DriverPacks, keep them to an absolute minimum. There's a known limitation with XP where a filepath limit is exceeded if all the main DriverPacks are used with all the Third Party DriverPacks. Once XP is installed with the main DriverPacks, you can get the rest of the drivers by building a SAD disc with whatever Third Party DriverPacks you wish.
http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ is the best place to look for update packs. I prefer the one built by User_Hidden, but there are others. Choose wisely!
I haven't made a CD in a long time. I only use DVD-R now.

Re: Sound A BSOD on W2K (6 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
It's possible that the portcls.sys file in one of the folders is not w2k compatible.
Also, Win2k has a 255 character file path limit. XP has a 4096 character limit. I'm pretty sure that DriverPack Sound A FAR exceeds that limit on it's own because of the stupid Creative drivers!
BTW Jeff, I just had an idea about our file path limit problem. I was thinking in terms of the UNC path that applies to burning files on a CD. CD burning uses Joliet specification (mostly) which limits the length to 256 minus one character, correct? But in 2000 and XP there is no limit on a UNC path, i cant imagine ever having to worry about that because \\server\share wouldn't ever be very long.
Maybe if we create a RAM disk, then extract the DriverPacks to it and call it with \\?\%drive%\d\.
Just an idea.
Reference is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … px#maxpath
To specify an extended-length path, use the "\\?\" prefix. For example, "\\?\D:\<very long path>". (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.)
<snip>
Note The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the "\\?\" prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run time, and this expansion applies to the total length.
