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.
