TechDud, thanks a lot for your kind and detailed answer.
Actually it's been a while since I have planed to create an unattended windows 7 installation disk and one of the parts was to add a general and functional driver pack into it.
Almost all parts are done except I noticed that most of the drivers were not updated, so I decided to update some of the important ones myself.
for the past three nights I've been collecting all the new versions for the following drivers and comparing them by supporting chipsets. (I only used the original manufacturers websites for every driver)

Graphics : Nvidia , Intel , ATI
Sound : Realtek , VIA
WLan : Atheros , Broadcom , Intel , Realtek
Lan : Broadcom
Card Reader : Realtek

I packed them with the old drivers and removed the older versions of new downloaded ones.
it's been a successful combination as much as i could test but unfortunately I don't have all the hardwares necessary to test them all.
after reading your reply i decided to upload them here after it's done

wish me luck

you're right, I'm sorry.
But can you at least guide me on this one ?

I'm going to update all graphic packs related to ati cards. I'm guessing it's not ok if I just download the latest versions related to every series and replace them with the old ones and repack them, is it ? so is there any tutorial or a simple guide about that ? or can you at least give me a hint about where to start to understand the basics of editing graphic packs ?

I appreciate your patience with me but I'm really curious about it and I'm also a fast learner.   
thanks in advance

maybe there's a misunderstanding. my question wasn't answered here so i thought it might be answered in a new thread. but anyway i asked for a link to download RC versions of graphic packs for test.

besides I wanted to update them myself, is there a guide on how to edit and upgrade graphic packs or should I just go with trial and error method ?

nobody tested it yet ?!
where are you guys ?
I was hoping I could have some comments by now.

I wanted to try the new RC release of graphic driverpacks you mentioned.
where can I download them ?

I found another bug in Graphics pack v1011
apparently the integrated ATI driver has a problem with Radeon HD 3850.
the blue screen error says that "ati2dvag" stucks in an infinite loop.
I searched a little about it and found out that it might need an update, so i downloaded the new version of ATI driver for 3xxx series from the official site. but unfortunately the new driver had the same bug too.
then i reverted to my old driver from 2009  and everything was back to normal.
could you check it out in the new build of Graphic packs ?

there was the following command in "DriverPack_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32.ini" , "DriverPack_Graphics_C_wnt5_x86-32.ini" :
"%DPSROOT%\D\G\A1\AVIVO\setup.exe /S /v/qb"
which caused this error about not being able to register a dll related to ATI graphic cards. I didn't save the screenshot of the error but after I changed the command line switch to "/S /v/qn" it resolved the error. I know this switch won't fix the problem but I thought you might wanna look into it.

I almost forgot to say that I'm using version wnt5_x86-32_1011

seems that we were thinking alike. last night I tested some of my theories and one of them was exactly as you said and apparently it works fine. if I had your answer last night I wouldn't be struggling with every possible theory till morning.

anyway I created a new Bluetooth pack using the latest updated version of Broadcom driver and replaced "BT5508600.exe" in "DP_Bluetooth_wnt5_x86-32_1005b1.7z\D\3\BT\B\" with my own installer (or as you said connection application) retrieved from broadcom driver.

It worked perfect on the laptop I mentioned previously. But I have to test it on some other laptops to see if they show any sign of malfunction.
Unfortunately I don't have all the necessary variety of laptops to be sure about this driverpack. what do you suggest ? should I abandon this driverpack at all or there could be hope for it?

I feel so lonely here, is it me or no one really exists in this forum anymore ?
any comment would be more than welcome, just say something about it so I can realize if I've done something wrong during the process or it's just OK this way !
