Topic: [ERROR]Windows 7 with all last drivers pack

Hello,
I have added these drivers pack with offline installation with a WinPE iso to a windows 7 pro 64bits under VMware Player using the command : dism /image:c:\ /add-driver /recurse /driver:Z:\drivers

DP_AMDfilter_wnt6-x64_1110
DP_Audio_wnt6-x64_1111
DP_CardReaders_wnt6-x64_11041
DP_Chipset_wnt6-x86_1212
DP_Gaming_wnt6-x64_812
DP_Graphics_A_wnt6-x64_1203
DP_Graphics_B_wnt6-x64_1203
DP_Graphics_Mobile_wnt6-x64_1203
DP_LAN_wnt6-x64_1208
DP_MassStorage_wnt6-x64_12121
DP_Misc_wnt6-x64_1202
DP_Monitors_wnt6-x64_911
DP_Touchpad_Mouse_wnt6-x64_1203
DP_Webcam_wnt6-x64_1103
DP_WLAN_wnt6-x64_1203

I got few errors adding some but nothing i felt important (but maybe it was).
But after a reboot i got a beautiful blue screen of the death.
Is there anyone that could advise me to not install a pack or driver that could crash the system ?

I see 4 directories in some driver packs : server, vista, windows 7 and windows 8.
Are they all available under Windows 7 or should i delete the 3 unwanted version ?

I can think of a couple.

For starters, how about using the x64 version of DP_Chipset, not "DP_Chipset_wnt6-x86_1212".
"DP_AMDfilter_wnt6-x64_1110" should only be used on AMD systems as it does cause non-AMD systems issues.  One could install it post-Setup for those systems specifically requiring it.  (Use SAD2)

Now for some less crucial ideas.
IIRC, "DP_CardReaders_wnt6-x64_11041" was merged with Chipset &/or DP_Misc long ago.
"DP_Gaming_wnt6-x64_812" may have been merged with DP_Touchpad_Mouse.  I am not certain, though.
"DP_Monitors_wnt6-x64_911" should be avoided like the plague.  Simply set your Color Profile to sRGB both in windows and your Display if it supports it.
"DP_Webcam_wnt6-x64_1103" could be installed post-Setup. (again, use SAD2)

Yes, delete the inapplicable folders.

May good fortune be yours!

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't saw the x86 pack... My mistake.
I have removed unnecessary drivers like gaming, webcam, touchpad, monitors and card reader since it's for universal image in education.

I will use VMware Workstation and snapshot stuff to go back from any blue screen.

I had plan to use SAD2 few month ago but i wanted to use it from network to make the image thinner but for network drivers... it was a problem and maybe something else was not working. Maybe since it was updated it works much better. I'll probably look again to this later.

Re: [ERROR]Windows 7 with all last drivers pack

After adding all packages, i find out that it's the DP_Misc_wnt6-x64_1202 that make blue screen.
What does it contains  and is it important drivers for daily use ?

Re: [ERROR]Windows 7 with all last drivers pack

I have made a new image running SAD2 at start up with sysprep.
This way looks better. Lighter image and easy driver pack update.
Yet, i haven't tested this version fully. I hope it will works well.

Thank you all for your replies.

Re: [ERROR]Windows 7 with all last drivers pack

If you are into adventure, try the last "Monitor" pack for x64
    here --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 306#p45306

It may be small (591kB compressed), yet it holds 1069 files in 19 folders for a total of 6.13MB uncompressed.
All drivers should be WHQL only.  If you spot one that is non-WHQL, please let me know.

Ok, thank you.
