Topic: My last experience with DriverPacks

Greetings

OK I would share how I did it. First I decided to make my new win xp pro installation DVD with all drivers possible so I went first to download the DriverPacks BASE 8.12.5 Released on June 11, 2009 from:

http://driverpacks.net/applications/dri … ase/8.12.5

after I installed it I downloaded all drivers using such program then slip streamed all drivers into my installation folder then burnt it into one DVD.

After about one hour of work I ended up with 1 bootable DVD of about 1.8 Gb of files: XP + Drivers + A few extra programs to install (such as messenger, flash player, antivirus and real player etc...)

The windows setup took about one hour, copying all the drivers took about 10 minutes then the installation was done normally then just before the first login the DriverPacks program kept closing the drivers pop ups for about 15 minutes.

Well I didn't know what to do so I left it like that then it finished alone. Okay now I am on my desktop everything seems fine so far. OK of course I went to verify my drivers to see if they were all installed. I found a few in yellow. That was a surprise. Of course I did something wrong during slip streaming drivers first time.

But I tried to right click on drivers then update them automatically and it worked for all of them except for my Cif Single Chip camera. I didn't worry because I have its CD installation program.

After using windows update I found no driver that needed any update except for my LG Flatron W1943 Monitor which was downloaded via windows update. OK now all my drivers are installed.

So the mistake that I did was around using the program options during slip streaming drivers maybe I didn't choose the right options. Or is it normal to find yellow still not installed drivers after windows setup. I don't know.

What about camera and monitor drivers?

Conclusion, I would thank everyone who helped build such program and collected all the drivers possible, and I am happy now after such first experience with all my drivers installed with no error whatsoever.

My suggestions would turn only about making easier the program options and set the best ones as the default program options. I don't know what are the real best program options but what I did and selected as options ran and worked smoothly but forced me to finish them manually.

I would so much that it worked automatically but perhaps it will happen in my next CD or DVD :-)

I wish you well.

Welcome to DriverPacks.net! smile
If you point us to where we can download those drivers we can add them into our Third Party DriverPacks (if they're not already there).
Please post your DPs_BASE.log and/or DPsFnshr.log so we can see what you did during your driver integration.  It's possible that you did nothing at all wrong.  But it's also possible that you made a simple error that's easily fixed.  We can't help without your logs.

Thank you for your comments, and enjoy your stay!

Re: My last experience with DriverPacks

Thanks mr_smartepants

Actually I have no problem installing my camera and monitor because I have their original CDs and for such links sorry I don't have them. As for LG it should be at LG support drivers pages and as for the camera I still don't know the constructor website. It just says Digital USB PC cam with no provided link on the new camera box. 

I am working on my 2nd DVD now, I hope it will be ready soon in a couple of hours, then I will provide you with my DPs_BASE.log with no prob as I deleted my first one. I have only one question for now:

is "DP_WebCam_wnt5_x86-32_100104.7z" the latest pack for cameras?

Thank you.

Re: My last experience with DriverPacks

It looks like you did everything right.  I don't know why your drivers didn't load automatically.  It's possible your system chipset isn't included in the DriverPack Chipset support list.  Not loading the chipset drivers correctly can cause all sorts of havoc with other drivers loading.
Your DPsFnshr.log will have more info.  But it's big, so you'll have to split it up and post it into two (or more) separate posts.

Again thanks. I just finished installing windows using my 2nd DVD (see my new DPs_BASE.log I just posted) everything worked fine. All important drivers were installed this time with no yellow flags. I installed nothing manually this time. Looks like I did some progress.

Setup took less time with no errors. The only left thing is my Cif single chip webcamera that I have to install from its CD. But that's not a problem. If you want I can upload its setup.exe to any ftp site then give you the link. It may be useful for other people.

Please have a great day.
