when unsure about the correct usage of slang, it's better to use plain language........

Unless you're in the business, pretty useless for desktop general purpose use.

The Aurora medical image cards are supposed to be G550 or the newer P690 hardware with a custom BIOS that optimizes the hardware for extremely high-resolution 32 bit grey scale imaging on 2 or 3 monitors.  Think of digital xrays & cat/pet scans and geo-shock imaging (oil exploration).  I believe that the standard Matrox BIOS upgrade software won't see the cards so it might not be possible to cheat and re-flash the cards to turn them into 'real' PC compatible hardware.  In any case, the multi-monitor connector is 'non-standard' meaning you might well need a custom cable designed and built to hook up DVI monitors.

Are you sure that both Matrox and NEC are ok with the redistribution of the drivers for that product?  Not only are those Aurora cards priced >U$1000, they are usually bundled with some extremely costly medical software whose licensing is tightly controlled.

Ok, so you intend to make a personal, public release of 'windows'.

You work for Microsoft??  If not, then the 'quality of your work' includes theft and piracy.

can we get a change log for DB_base 712?

is there a change note for 801 to 8011?

Do these belong in Chipset or Mass Storage?

so no mass nightly, shoud I 'assume' that the fix in in the release pack?

let us know when a new nightly is in place.....  Thanks!

If the current Intel SATA/Storage Manager drivers are in the nightlies, I can test that too over the weekend.  I have a new mobo to get into service.

hardware IDs are useful at this point.......

My personal plan is that the next few systems builds I do will be with modified and patched SP2 (nlite, driverpacks, and loads of RyanVM stuff).  Anything I do after after 01 Jan 08 will be using XP SP3 as a base.

After all, I have an E6850, 2 Gb ram, and an Intel DG33TL sitting here waiting to chug along.........

or check with your broadband provider.  Often they have special subscriber deals (some even free) for McAfee antivirus.

Probably not a good idea to ask how to mod an XP image you obtained from a questionable source.

MD5s are ok.

Jaak, I'm not sure what you mean by that.  I'm not using any 3rd party driver packs and all of the packs I am using are the 'official' release, no overnight builds.

Yup, cleaned out Quickstream.  This happens no matter if I use QS or not or what kind of finisher (runOnce, gui, etc) I use.

I'm thinking that when the CR drivers were 'consolidated' some weeks back a .ini file wasn't updated properly.

Additionally, it only happens with KTD enabled.  I'm sure that many people run with KTD disabled and thus wouldn't run across this.

There may be similar problem with Graphics B as well.

Off to hunt the wiley buglets.....

I'm trying to integrate both SoundA and SoundB.  All seems to go well until dp finisher gets to these directores.

Of course, they don't exist.  But the finisher is looking for them, can't find them, and errors out.

I've downloaded fresh copies of  SoundA, B, and dp_base with no relief.

??  and thanks

and a fix to dp_base is in the works??

It would be tres chic if DP_base/finisher could be run on an already installed windows system to 'force install' or 'force update' driver packs or to clean up after a partially blown installation.

I know that there are 1 or 2 batch files floating around to help with this, but the functionality (IMHO) really should be generic to the DP_base or finisher code.

Many thanks!

me too!

Seriously, has anyone done any recent work on these batch files?
