Re: Vista driver packs, do they actually work ? (9 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Thanks for the info ill try grabbing that tool
looks handy and may just work, for now ill try f8 and disabling the driver verification prompt and see if that offers a quick fix hopefully vista will update drivers that way if not that tool looks to do the job also. Yeah its shocking since I see engineers pass thru my work place fixing other customers pcs and there literally just standing around for 45 minutes scratching there heads wondering what this driver is under device manager, its the driver packs from here that saves there bacon. Ive added uniblue driver scanner and driver genius/drivermax and few other proggys to the fold to help also but its much easier/faster to just have the driver off the disc.
It was just a shame for the last year + we all been scratching our heads under Vista lol
Anyhow heres hoping luckerly Vista on its own is pretty good and many times ill clean oem install vista and all drivers are picked up ! blessing if that occurs !
anyhow will let you know how it goes on

thx for the info I think your right since vista almost ignors the driver cd altogether....
Im too surprised no one uses the driver packs in the way I do considering I am an computer engineer I get customers pcs on a daily basis where they have deleted there drivers or installed a oem or retail vista or xp and of course device manager is flooded with yellow exclamation marks and there usualy complaining no sound and why they cant adjust resoultion. So it is pretty common to myself well it has been for the past 10 years
I wish I could slip stream but the way my work is I need it the other way round sadly...
Anyhow hopefully windows 7 comes with many drivers integrated or it has better online support since vista was pretty good, so was sP3 for xp.

We assume you extracted them from the 7zip archives and burned them to a DVD in your above attempts?
Yup
extracted the files and left them onto a dvd disc.....
by any means just wondered why I never got it to work under vista, the XP driver packs are working fine can usualy grab 60-70% drivers from the XP driver disc but on Vista its like 10% successfully I think out of say 10 missing drivers in device manager maybe 1 will get 1 done.
The problem also exist on 3rd party driver packs ie you get these packs like this : 100.000 Windows Drivers (For VISTA+XP+ME+98+95+2000+20 03)
Which claim to work under vista yet it doesnt, yet when u let it scan under device manager under XP it works
just wondered why this was the case.... am surprised no one else has mentoned this either !

thx for the info
but isnt that a slip stream tool to integrate the vista drivers ?
I was seeing if theres basicly a set of drivers that you can put onto a dvd and in device manager if theres any yellow esclamption marks you can simply right click and hit update driver and it finds it and installs it off the dvd.
The driver packs on this site for XP work perfect and save much headache but sadly ive not found the vista packs to work in the sameway.
Or do they only work once its slip streamed into a copy of vista ?

Topic: Vista driver packs, do they actually work ? (9 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
I must be doing something wrong since ive tried grabbing all the vista driver packs burn them to dvd and goto device manager and let any devices scan the disc yet no reaction.
I must have tried a few 100 pcs over the last year and its never picked up not even 1 driver missing its like its not even bothering to scan the disc or theres no valid driver.....
I get the same reaction from 3rd party driver packs that claim to be "vista" compatible but they have never really worked...they always seem to be fine for XP however.
But alas XP is fading away its all focus is now moving towards vista/windows 7
So has anyone found any vista driver packs that actuall work out there? One where u can just right click on the device that hasnt loaded under deivce manager and just scan away the disc ?
