Thanks for the prompt reply!

Kinda figured thats what was implied, and that it just wasn't updated yet.

Take care, and thanks again.

OK, stupid question...but the driver packs in the main downloads section for Vista will work for Windows 7 right?

Just sorta new to this, and want to clarify this for myself and others in the future.

Because the download section does not mention Win 7 anywhere, only Vista.
Ie:

http://driverpacks.net/driverpacks/latest
"Windows Vista (x64) DriverPacks"
Thats all that it says the packs are for...Vista

But in the forum, the threads state:
"Vista / 7 x64 Chipset DriversPack"
And they are the same version numbers and direct download locations from what i gather.

Just looking for clarification for future use, and to keep other newbs like myself from wondering the same thing smile

Anyways, keep up the awesome work all...DriverPacks.net rocks!
What a life saver..

Hi,
Anyone know if the ryanvm post update pack works with XP 64 bit?

If so, i would assume the SP2 version would be used?

Or if anyone else knows a easy way to get a x64 version up to date...without the windoz update site.

Thanks for reading.

FYI all...
It appears that there is no more "hanging startup" issue of itunes on XP SP3.  Atleast not with the latest version of itunes 8.1.1.10 on 4-18-09.

Sorry, hadda throw it out there smile

ROFL...

Thanks for the one on one attention....blushing tongue
I would have gladly accepted a link to another thread or a little slap in the head saying " hey nimrod look over here"
But now i feel all warm and special inside just because of you Jeff. wink

I admit i jump the gun on asking before searching, especially when it's one of my own posts and im in the zone.
I have a tendency to post questions like I did, and then go hunting for the answers right afterwards.
Granted i didnt go hunting for answers right away this time....I guess somehow i knew my questions would be answered by a higher being...LOL
Just one of those things i guess... silly monkeys.

Thanks again Overflow.

Ill post back in the next few days with a thumbs up hopefully.

Anyone know if itunes is working properly with XP SP3 and the ipod nano yet?
Hadda throw it out there for the heck of it...had a brain fart.

OK OK...ill go and look for the answer...

Also...would it be best to integrate the latest MS updates into the install disk first, and then slip the drivers afterwards?   And then make any OS install disk changes via nlite last?

Or slip the drivers first and then integrate the updates, and then use nlite for customizing?

Or whatever order you think is best?



Thanks

Thanks for the prompt reply Overflow wink

I belive it may have been RyanVM's integrator....as it its commonly pushed on from the nlite site.
And that being said, it makes sense that i related DP, nlite, and my mystery site when i was asking about this....shrug.

I just dont remember the site being so dark like ryans is...
http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack-sp2.html

But the version numbering system rings a bell in my head (currently 2.2.5) ...so it's probably it.

Thanks again Overflow!

Hi there, thanks for looking.

It was quite a while back when i tried out slipping driver packs and some of my own driver packs.

But here's the stupid question...I remember there being a site to download windows updates (packs of sorts) and slip them also. And no, I'm not talking a official MS site.

It was a site similar to driverpacks.net...and nlite for that matter....from what i remember.


I just dont remember what it was called....but basically one was able to download almost all the latest updates and hotfixes for lets say, XP SP2.  And then they could be slipstreamed, creating a near up to date XP SP2 install disc

Any ideas???

I know it's out there...just dont remember where or what exactly.. smile

Thanks for reading,
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hmmmm, i know this is quite belated.... thank you!
It worked,  must have gotten check box happy that night smile

I know i replied to this a few days after you replied overflow, im positive.

But i was also out of town at my aunts at the time...using dial-up on a Pentium 3 running win98...and...
Yeaaah, im not even gonna go there....just got shivers and goosebumps.


Anyways,  thanks again.

Hi and thanks for looking.

I'm new to driverpacks and slipstreaming them via DP base, but familiar with nlite.
Im not having any problems really, everything went smooth.

Anyways, I noticed on my first install with all of the driver packs, my XP SP3 install was about 2.1 gigs.

Then i decided to included my own massive collection of drivers...about 1.2 gigs worth....im sure some where duplicates but im not worried about that.

Anyways, on my second XP sp2 install, with driverpacks, and my own drivers slipped, i ended up with 3.9 gigs on the drive after the install.

obviously a huge difference... 2.1 to 3.9 gigs.

Im just wondering if there is a way to delete all the un-needed drivers after the OS install or something like that.
preffereably automatic smile

that extra 2 gigs of useless drivers is driving me nuts!!.


Thanks for looking,

any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
