What I was referring to wasn't installing drivers for the given hardware, it's that "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" where you have the option to select install the software automatically (recommended) or install from a list or  specific location (advanced).... where if you use the recommended method, it'll install the default windows drivers (which is what I want for my purpose)....

the whole idea is, I don't want the dialog, if there are default windows drivers for it, i want it to use them, and I'll install the proper / latest drivers for them as I please.

Hope for some assistance:) thanks

does anybody know how to 'automatically' install 'default' drivers or whatever it can find upon plugging in new hardware?

i get those add new device wizards/prompts whatever you call them, and i need to press next all the time till its done. it becomes a bother when you have a usb keyboard and a mouse plugged into this newly reformatted pc. if you get what i mean.

;device prompt

this is what i got. what else am i missing?

ok thanks for mentioning all that. luckily i don't use those hardware. never got textmode massstorage to work though, had to manually do it usually if needed. looks like im forced to use just dp's LAN/cpu package..

and very good thing, most of the drivers my hardware need have silent switches..

What are you talking about -- providers? You mean like nvidia's been releasing bad drivers? Mind giving me an example? Apparently, I'm not well aware of bad drivers by -what providers-. I do understand what you've said about uncool and betas not to be used in production machines. I hope to learn something new about bad drivers

im one of those non-testers using them in production environments

so.. since a couple to most of the packs are months out of date, where can i actually get the latest packs, with newest drivers.. particularly chipset, massstorage, audio, lan

http://dev.driverpacks.thesneaky.com/dr … nightlies/

Pretty empty now, I see some old ones in old nightlies, but usually there's one in the above, so, what's going on now?

Haven't seen a stable release in a long while now.

same as those other reports
on version 805.2

however, im not on nforce4. this is on an nforce3 board... board is epox 8k9a3j or something if ive not mistaken.

Thank you. For now, I'll script something up with the ini file to get what I want.

Considering the theme of automation and unattended setup here, it would be really nice to see switches like I've been mentioning in future versions.

then would it be possible to do something like this

dps_Base.exe /loadini:"profile1.ini" etc etc?

for pcs without wireless, i wouldn't include wireless drivers

Are there any switches that I can use to automatically slipstream?

I've scripted most of my other integrators now -- ryanvm integrator, wmp11 slipstream, and runoncex so I just load the batch files and it does everything I need.

DP is the only one I've not yet scripted. If it's not a feature already included, please take this as a feature request.

I would like to specify it like

dps_base.exe /source:"?" /packs:"x:\?|?|?|?" /option1:"d1sable" /option2 /slipstream /ktd:"no" /closeonsuccess

I don't know, mind telling me how it should be done then? I just wanna use modified nvidia drivers (I only modified the main inf file just for the registry settings).. How can I successfully accomplish that?

File modified: nv4_disp.inf
I tried two ways to no avai.

1. DP_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32_701.7z <-- made a copy and placed it under 3rd party packs. Added my modified INF file (based on NGO optimized driver) and repacked using 7zip ultra compression. ive ensured file and dir structure is 100% correct
2. I directly modified the inf file and used the same filename under the same dir. only inf file changed and i repacked. just like above. same filename, same dir. same all.

Drivers don't install. Machine boots up on microsoft drivers.

I'd like to keep ATI drivers there and use NGO optimized drivers (it has nice preconfigured settings) instead of what is included in DP_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32_701.7z........ so that i can use this also on machines with ATI graphics.

I got no idea what I'm doing wrong. Anything I should know? Should I paste the inf file here?
