Helmi, You are correct that it should not include the day in the naming...... However, since 3rd party packs are not official and have the possibility to be updated by several sources I have been naming the packs that I contribute to all with the yy.mm.dd naming... so if someone updates it after that there is no question of what is newer. and thank you for taking on renaming them, I'm on a loner computer right now while I'm fixing up my house...

What does MIA mean?

Missing In Action.... AKA not there... I will look again though.
I'm not using my normal desktop computer right now, so I dont have all my resources for checking the FTP for the file to exist there... I was going by the posts on the forum. Webcam was directed to a 3rd party server that was down, but thanks for the link, I will update it and any others that are up agian.

Edit: Updated all but modem... atm

I updated the links for the packs that were available...
However, Driverpacks Webcam was not on the server (external link down), Modem (Topic Link)is named incorrectly and I think Virtual was MIA from what I saw.

I am so sorry for being MIA for so long, but I have to get my living situation in order, otherwise I will be on the street wink
As soon as that is in order (shouldn't be too much longer hopefully) I will be able to help again.

Just an off the wall question...
Is there a way that I can track (on a remote computer on the internet) the number of times that my version of windows has been installed? Like I want to be able to keep a log of, say, how many times one of my sister stores installs my custom copy of windows... with safeguards in place to make sure it only registers 1 per 1 install, and retries if there is no connectivity.

Any ideas of how to do this best?

Update!

I found a house and I am going through the final stages of closing on it (should be next week).
I'm very excited! It needs a little fixing up here and there, but overall in good condition.
It is just under 1400sq/f with 4 bedrooms and a full basement! This is my first house purchase, and I can't wait to get out of this glorified box that I'm renting now (only ~580sq/f house). I got it for a steal... only $43,500 (was a foreclosure)! I had it appraised, and after it is fixed it should be worth ~$146,000!!!!!! WOW!

So, I just wanted to share the excitement.
Hopefully I will be able to fix the house up and get back to my normal routine shortly.

Later Guys,
~Dave

Exactly!
Most of those tools that are 3rd Party Software just look at the age of the driver. If the driver is a certain age, it will tell you it needs to be updated... even if a newer driver has not been released.

All in all, if the device works... don't mess with it! wink

Hey guys,

I just wanted to throw a FYI your way so you dont just think that I died.
I am taking a leave of absence from work, and most everything else... while I find a house (i gotta be outta here by the 10th). So, my life has been very hectic lately.... and hopefully my employer will allow me to continue working after my leave.

So, just a FYI.

The device did not work properly either, I assume (since you mention "code 10" in the topic title, and I think you meant "error code 10")?

Correct, the device did not function untill the VIA drivers were installed. and yes "Code 10" means Device Driver Error code 10.

Must be an identical HWID issue and my guess is that this problem is therefore irresolvable.

is there a way to double check if they have identical HWIDs or not?

Thanks for the info, if someone has another update for the pack I will make sure it is provided in a new version. However, I am taking an extended weekend and will not be back until Monday. So, that means I will not be able to re-pack the monitor pack in a timely fashion. If you wanted to do it, I will update my links for it.

that'd help with the update side of things...
i have stuffed around with it a bit. Bâshrat the Sneaky used to have a batchfile that'd put the driver locations into winnt.sif

I have a problem with wsus... "You also must install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) Release A, WMSDE, SQL Server 2005, or SQL Server 2000 with SP3"... I have none of those.

Done! Sry, I wasn't aware of this driverpack so I didn't repack it. Also, I had all the driverpacks DIR's in uppercase... no biggie, but just for unity I think the DIR's should be in all uppercase. But, otherwise Great job on the new release! smile

If anyone else has any further updates on any of the packs just let me know and I will modify the post to reflect the new release smile
