Topic: Problem with latest DriverPacks, some things still remain "unknown"

I've taken a screen capture so you can see for yourself.


This is on a new Dell computer with an Intel Pentium 4 processor, ATI Radeon X600 graphics card, Intel Ethernet card and Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit card all installed - and I'm using XP SP2 with all the latest BST DriverPacks integrated (alongside RyanVM's Update Pack 2.0.6).  Additionally, there are two frontal USB ports as well as five others round the back, and an internal card reader is installed at the front below the two DVD drives.

What could be the problem?

Re: Problem with latest DriverPacks, some things still remain "unknown"

The screen shot is cryptic. Did you ever find out what those missing drivers are?

Are all the devices you mentioned in your post accounted for? Because your screenshot doesn't show.

The following sentence is false.
The preceding sentence is true.

You need to install your Modem drivers... (PCI Simple Communication Device)
I have been contributing to a 3rd Party 'Modems' pack on MSFN.org that might help, you can download it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/17871930/Dri … .4.7z.html

....and the USB device......... Good Question... I just had something similar, but I guess it was actually a feature of the sound card... but good luck on that one.

Well, I guess I didn't understand the initial post. Is marzsyndrome saying that the devices mentioned in the message are not being recognized?

I have a Hauppage PVR2USB that shows up as USB Device...?

Is there or shouldn't there be a central location for 3rd party packs? Just asking as I am interested.

This is currently in discussion here http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=28.

Also there is a sticky thread on the topic over at the old DriverPack forums at MSFN.

Hmmmm, intriguing!  I usually remove modem drivers from the CD with nLite considering I don't use dial-up...... am I taking the whole modem thing the wrong way by thinking about that then?  Am I supposed to still install them even if I use broadband?

No... then just disable the device - it won't affect your system negatively. You cannot expect all devices to be installed if you don't slipstream all drivers... wink

Exactly, I was refering to your question that you asked. You wanted to know what the unknown devices were, so I told you... and how to make them known wink

As, Bâshrat the Sneaky said, just disable it if you use broadband... but if you ever (for some very odd reason) go back to Dialup, you WILL need to enable & install the modem driver.
