virus scanner w/on access scanning....?

the file 'Fedit.exe' is being stomped by a spyware, malware or virus scanner?

I guess that's it.

I do have Eset security suite installed and running

in the past i used to have NIS installed.

But I thought Eset SS should be faster

I'll try agian [Nod32 turned Off] and report back.

done but still

I've personally seen very long times on older hardware like yours.

What kind of disk drive do you have?

On my C2D E6850 (3gz), 4 GB ram, 7200 rpm SATA-2 drives, integrating all of the driverpacks as well as 3 or 4 third party packs, the process completes in about 100 seconds.

On my older Athlon MP (2.3 Gz), 2 Gb ram, 3600 rpm IDE drive, I would always go away for a drink of water and a little TV during driver pack integration.  Seriously, it would take that long.

Good news is that to upgrade to a new mobo, CPU, ram, and disk drive is in the neighborhood of $500-.

What is your time worth?

thx 4 the advice I'm actually a pc tech [it's what i do for living]

I mentioned in the main post that i used to do so in less than 3 minutes
the only different between my current configs and the last one is that the main hard drive is WD 250 GB  PATA
instead of the SAMSUNG 160 GB PATA & windows sp3 instead of sp2.

thx 4 your interest.

BTW, I've been using DriverPacks base since 4th Q of 2007 and never had such problem.

Ok, I found this post

Solved in base 8.11.25rc

but, guess what. this version got me to 17 minutes

another thing: in the last step b4 i press slipstream the update tracker tells me [where did you get that]
may be because its an RC version.

hey all,

I used to integrate official DriverPacks using DPs_BASE_805. it used to finish in less than 3 minutes.

after 4 months [now] i downloaded the latest DriverPacks but, when i slipstream 'em into the source it finishes

in a WHOLE 28 Minutes.

don't know what happened

I'm using the following:

Windows Xp Professional + Sp1

1. nLite-1.4.9.1 to add SP3, rip some components and tweak the source
2. wmp11slips1.3i to slipstream WMP 11 with updated fixes
3. Finally i use the DPs_BASE_805 to integrate the driver packs [official+3rd party] [M2/Ktd disabled/ATi CCC & CCP disabled/QSC enabled]

BS: I even skipped step 1 and 2 jumping directly to step 3 on the untouched source but still nothing less than 22 minutes

My Work environment:

AMD 2200+
1024 Mb of DDR rams at 400 MHz
ATi Radeon 9000 Pro
and On Gigabyte main board model: 7vaXp
running Windows Xp + Sp3

ny suggestions ?
