SAM, UAC or User account Control messes with devcon.

Answer= no.
I don't want to google your machine. (and then try find what we do not have)
You have it, but you did not provide detail.
We do not provide solutions by machine type and do not have a database per machine type.
We can add drivers, but we ask that you help us determine what we have to add.
you could be lucky.
a regular may take interest.
If not, you will have to help us help you.
the real strength in DriverPacks is that a user can select and modify a DP.
There is No perfect set of drivers.
There is no perfect set of DriverPacks.
Hi LeV,
it would be eXtra work to remove languages. (Looking at a driver's install routine is work. I see some in which it is a hopeless task, as each language has its own INI and each INI is actually referenced in main INF, or the INF is poking a INI which is calling other INI.)
DriverPacks experts and team members are not infallible, but we usually know what can break a driver.
I also think we have to get size out of the picture.
There was never a rule of making it as small (DISC burn limit) as possible.
USERS reQuested it be as small as possible, but more oft than not, that was not the smartest solution.
MY ideal is:
A small enough memory footprint with the Least conflict. (mass)
Everything, with no conflict. (all other, and mass)
Stable drivers before the latest.
this is not my idea, but ours. Jeff, Erik, Hans and all other team members agree to stable.
Conflicts are hard to find. (How on earth could machine coders use same routines for widely different hardware, and get WHQL certified when they submitted the driver..)
Instability in a driver (by its own) is a nightmare to us.
I have seen a site boasting they can give you the perfect driver.
I cannot say we have the perfect set, and we do not boast we have that set.
We help you by filtering. A good many conflicts were eliminated in the last two years.
You (members/team/testers) help us by telling us what works, and what doesn't.
I've been busy outside DriverPacks. While I was not focusing, I could see a wider perspective.
I think I still fit in that picture, and regret I have a real life project stealing a lot of time.
(house remodelling)
it has interesting release notes.

Hi
I'll answer you with a question.
if we had to have this for txtmode, how could a Method one slipstream see the hard disk?
(M1 does not use "fakesetup" at all.)
I tried those packs you gave me. The audio worked with flying colors. The video didn't work out too well. I get the BSOD error 0x00000050. I saved the HWIDS and posting it here just in case if you need it. BTW I found Atheros drivers that will work for the Sony FW series. It's version V7.6.0.108. Here is my HWIDS:
===========
PCI Devices
===========
PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_0832&SUBSYS_9035104D&REV_05\4&31FC8C23&0&18F0: OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_4363&SUBSYS_9035104D&REV_13\4&296E4DAC&0&00E4: Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002A&SUBSYS_E007105B&REV_01\4&3905AE0C&0&00E3: Network Controller
can you provide a link to that atheros driver?
the Jmicron driver supplied by gigabyte does behave different than the reference driver by Jmicron.
I will probably have to add the gigabyte version, and then edit the reference driver?
D4 was the one I said would cause trouble.
I deleted the HWID from INI, but it apparently needs INF pruning too then.
(( I agree with what Mr_smartepants said... DDD.. ))
there was some forum group effort behind this, I suppose.
Is this open source?
Is this in alpha stage? (the topic title may have to be changed.)
As an aside; and FWIW, I think that releases of WAIK and DPinSt and inhouse/published tools to work with 2008 made developments like this possible.
I figure our admins want to know this up front.
Is this in autoIT?
will you help us improve it (not jut plug it).
I know this Sounds like a Cold shoulder, but I would LOVE this functionality.
I just don't know how DriverPacks will grow and what turns we'll have to take.
we have a few developments going and they would go to x64.
but XP x64 was not in the picture. (vista x64 is)
@DriverPacks, we was hounded by people craving for space on their CDR and x64 drivers were pruned out.
And, imho, there is nobody here who has access to all original drivers (we often do not know if there ever were x64 present in a set.)
The consent (in my point of view) to date is that 64 for vista is definately not pruned, and x64 for XP shall not be edited out when we update.
(which would bring back X64 for XP whenever there is a review of a driver that had it.)
we'll wait for the official.
Unless there was apparent registry changes between those (for XP).
Are there any?
JakeLD?
please test that 807a for D4 of which you said you NEED it.
the generics clashed with iastor 55 and an LSi.
[[ I know it was not for XP/ and 2003 only]] but samlab had issue
no longer than two weeks ago.
in one of the new toys, I was running a vista x64, I got a 8.06 intel forced on me..by microsoft. I liked it.
I had to test something, so I plonked in another raid array. Vista 32.. I got a 8.06 intel forced on me..by microsoft. I also liked it.
XP, no 806:
S.A.D. makes us happy
I can tell you it worked as promised on different occasions, and I timed it against a older personal built 'method one supreme'.
(if you read about the short short.. good)
SAD ported to fast media wins.
DVD are slow.
Hi
Let's suppose you do this.
You look in hardware manager, detail, find the HWID, copy that, paste it in a txt search and run it across the uncompressed D\ folder content.
You may find more than one result. (it will also show you why it takes XP so long to search a CDROM and all other MRU folders.)
now, here's the beauty of DPinst.
You can run it off thumbsticks.
When you run DPinst run it across the uncompressed D\ folder content it will search recursively through all folders and subfolders, and it will also do the same 'balancing" act minisetup does in order to find the better PnP driver. (it weighs them)
So, you can uncompress all with 7zip, and then you would have over 1600 Mb of drivers in D\subdirs... and run DPinst.exe
BUT, the DPinst cmd tool on the source you built will handle a few special exceptions.
(the 'few' exceptions we write will launch a SFX and that can make a big difference.)
there are VERY few SFX, tho, which means a good many get installed properly without our magic.
OH,
OverFlow mentioned we should most likely get rid of SFX files anyhow.
How we will do it (and do we do it for all of them?) gets decided in the near future.
The cmd DriverPacks BASE puts on the source was triggered by an idea warmsnow had.
Warmsnow wrote his version to do this without using DriverPacks BASE.
SamLab, I have always wondered why your HWID dump list always scrolls off and does not have all the info about the found HWIDs.
have you removed languages from the source with Nlite?

thanks
There is a new DriverPack MassStorage 807a on nightlies
one or two of those machines will also run extended beta tests on online armor and other software.
I was allowed to test, was given keys, and don't want to let down that project.
(stable product for XP/2003 only, can be had free or paid. The beta is adding vista support and new features)
I was also comparing SAS and MBaM, avast and AVG, avira and kaspersky, and still do betas for adaware and IE8.1 and liveonecare (and so on..--)
good news.
I have four testrigs now. Two of those will be long term testrigs (hardware shuffle beds).
I put some odds and ends together and have two dual core pentium (a 3000/2Mb and a 3.4/4Mb , one core two duo 2.333, and a core two quad, and a celeron is waiting for a bed.
One of those machines is going to be running server2008 and will have 8Gb DDRII and a gigabit router and a switch will allow me to do some real experiments in what DriverPacks and RIS can do.. the server can have as many virtual servers (or orther virtual machines) I can make it load.
I'll be busy setting this up, but I will be able to test new test DriverPacks on real metal in various ways.
Thank you for the report.
Hi,
what do the lines mean?
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2461
when you consider how many downloads happened between april 24th and july 20th, it is amazing we see so few reports and requests.
We may have a large user base, but we have only a small active group of helpers, and they have to work in a poor environment (the forum can act up.. as we all know.)
DriverPacks are not ever going to be perfect, but they are pretty good, I guess.
edit;
I think each major update will trigger peak demand.
There are a few pending requests, and there are also a few solutions (in testing) which contain contradictions, and there are offered solutions we may not be able to implement because they are about "unofficial support of a chip".
I was hoping the new site will make work on DriverPacks a lot easier.
There will be updates on a few main DriverPacks in july. (I am trying to find wether there are conflicts between ATI HDMI and sound, and mass storage needs an update too.
They will be based on reports by the 'few' active members.
I've not posted testpacks for a couple weeks now, but am still working on DriverPacks.
