Possibly, there is a problem with your methodology of updating this driver. See this post: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 150#p43150

Of course, using the setup installer gives you the benefit of the WiFi Utility (so handy!)

Has anyone else had problems with Broadcom XP driver v5.100.82.15?

First things first, clone your hard drive to a 'spare' HDD of at least 2GByte larger than the total amount of data on the file system (say you have a 80G drive w. 32G of data on it; use at least a '33GB' or a 40GB drive). Your HDD manufacturer may have free tools to accomplish this. Before cloning, it never hurts (other than time-wise) to run a full read test of the drive (again with HDD manufacturer's tools) to verify the state of the drive. Beware that depending upon the cloning option(s) you chose, your clone might not be bootable.

VERIFY that your data was copied sucessfully (ubuntu's file manager may help).

Use your Windows2000SP4 (if you have SP4 on your system) to do a (R)epair of Windows 2000 from initial start-up (be sure your clone is disconnected FIRST).

Beware, i am not that well-schooled in the proper repair procedures for Win2K. The repair procedure might break your apps, screw-up a DOS partition if applicable, you may have to re-apply ALL windows updates (after SP4 - if that's what your working with), driver issues, etc, etc...
]
My gut feeling is that it might be possible to upgrade to WinXP-SP3, keep existing apps, use DOSBOX to emulate a DOS environment for your DOS proggies.

No matter what you attempt to repair your existing partition(s), you may have remnants of viral/malware products, or if parts of the OS/apps become broken by the repair processes, the result may mimic the affects of a virus/malware (in rare cases). Spybot Search&Destroy has been invaluable to me (they have a boot CD - not sure of price/availability). Malwarebytes AntiMalware is ok as well (no boot CD).

I'm not so much of a fan of Kapersky, since it puts a new folder in the root of your HDD. I'm not sure as of yet why (possibly for Quarantine, or to leave a copy of itself on your HDD to access later).

I have had a lot of success with Avira's rescue CD, though.

Ccleaner (from piriform) is a great tool to clean the registry, etc. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/faq/in … er-support

I'm not an nVidia hater, i've sadly been following their hijinx since fixing a HP dv9xxx series laptop with the 'bumpgate' bug.

Mind you, that's only the tip of the iceburg (did anyone say Titanic). It is of little wonder that many have had trouble with desktop chipsets. Nor is it any wonder that nVidia no longer manufactures desktop chipsets. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new … led-makers

Of course, there's my favorite: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new … idia-party

I wonder if the future would have been different had 3DFX bought out nVidia, instead of vicea-versa! I guess things were so bad for a while that Intel refused to buyout nV!

Like i said earlier, i'm not a hater, just following the hijinx!

That's OK, I'm in no hurry. I'm just doing my best to be a 'contributor', although i have no $$$.

Please don't dismiss my similar post for XP. I have found newer drivers hidden on FTDI's site, updating the WHQL version to the last available for legacy HW.

PS: What is with these crazy posters wanting to sell jewelry, or get advice on where to move? Are they Cylon's? ....Frakkin' Cylons!

New WHQL driver for win-all x86 & x64 (FTDI USB2 - serial)

I believe there may have been HWID's included in that driver missing from the current release.

Perhaps the old .inf could be modified to remove support for the VID_0403&PID_6001 (8bit FIFO), in deference to the new driver (including virtual COM ports - VCP & direct USB access via a Dll - D2XX)
The '8372' is an embedded serial port on a FT8U100AX USB1.1 Hub: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/FT8U100AX.htm

A newer driver is available to support such devices (v1.00.2162): http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/Win98/R10906.zip
However; it is not WHQL certified.

Better yet, here is the latest WHQL driver (v1.00.2176) to handle those legacy devices (hidden on FTDI's site!): http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/Win2000/R2176.zip
In this case, the PID num's 6001, & 6010 (x2) should be commented out (driver v1.00.2176).

Thanx.

2011-04-19 06:48:49

I suppose that this would not be the only error in the lists of drivers. In the future (time-permitting) could the HW ID's be listed, as well? Perhaps (long into the future) a 'Search' function could be added to the main page, allowing one to search for an appropriate driver by OS/HW ID.

2011-04-19 06:35:43

Forgive me if this doesn't help much, yet I wonder what the specific HW ID's are for both the onboard & PCI(e) Network adapters.

Another thing i'm wondering is if your hardware exhibits the same behavior in a linux environment. Try a linux live CD (Ubuntu, Knoppix, LinuxMint, etc.) and see if you can connect with your network. If your network adapter(s) work fine, you are most likely experiencing a windows issue. If it won't work with an alternate OS, it's most likely a HW issue. (If this is the case, is your board still under warranty?)

Is there a BIOS update for your motherboard (beware, mistakes updating your mobo can 'brick' your board)?

Whops, oh yeah, Win2K, virus, most likely Win issues. I wonder if either the Avira Rescue disc, or the Kapersky Rescue disc might help remove the last remnants of 'viral tourettes'? These discs (if you are not familiar with) use a linux-live OS to clean viruses (etc), are updatable (over network if functioning outside of windows).

Forgive my impudence, not all supported nVidia HW is listed on the x86 nor x64 pages. http://driverpacks.net/node/578/drivers http://driverpacks.net/node/579/drivers

2011-04-18 22:10:35

Ah, "N"

Does the aforementioned driver contain HWID's for 'n' devices? (Answer: yes)

2011-04-15 07:00:46

From further reading, it isn't supposed to affect unsigned .inf's, just unsigned driver system files.

2011-04-14 12:58:03

Does this spell the end of unsigned drivers in Vista-7.x64? https://www.microsoft.com/technet/secur … 06014.mspx

Any luck with SeaTools DOS on the offending drive (not through USB)? http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?l … 04090aRCRD
You may want to clone the drive first.
Do you not have a limited time period for the validity of an RMA? If you're near the end of your time limit, why not just clone the drive, & bite-the-bullet and wait the two weeks for shipping. I always use Registered (&Unbuffered?) Postal Mail, since $100 insurance is included, delivery times (2weeks max) & costs are about $18CDN.

2011-04-12 11:56:57

Wouldn't the Jmicron 1394 & RAID drivers be better suited to the Chipset & MassStorage packs, respectively?
The ENE card reader drivers, could be updated to v2.00.05, if acceptable(I know win7 is indicated, yet they work great for me on XP - check the .inf - now SD cards, etc. have relevant icons in explorer, even SDHC works as with v2.00.02 - no SDHC logo, though).

My way to (hopefully) make a non-financial contribution! Thanx again, DriverPacks!

PS: what can i do for the autographed CD?

2011-04-11 13:53:59

Hopefully, yet updated software rarely fixes HW problems! It usually starts w. the P/S, you likely wouldn't like the sound off an amp with a 3rd-rate P/S. PCIe (& Mini-PCIe - laptop) chipsets (ie: HP dv6xxx-9xxx series,etc, etc, etc - nVidia Bumpgate) & chipset drivers can influence system functionality. Mechanical switches can malfunction, as they are prone to torsional & frictional forces. Then there is the cumulative properties of 'User Error'!

As Mark Twain once said, "There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip".

Perhaps the hardware doesn't work properly with a live linux CD? If it works on an alternative OS, you can nearly guarantee Windows driver issues.
