  1. Happy Birthday to our WinCert friend Legolash2o! Have a great day Liam, and thank you for everything you're doing for Wincert.
  2. I like it. But the black category titles & unchecked apps disappear into the dark background of the upper left corner. I'll have to play with the CSS to change the font color but those settings aren't in the "Theme" settings. Maybe a higher contrasting color or a light "window bar" for the black titles.
  3. Just a quick question for v8.2.1 (now available). Is there an easy way to to determine the OS arch? getArch() Usage: getArch()=="AMD64" Returns: x86, AMD64, or IA64 (Itanium). This will return the arch of the processor, not the OS. So if I use the above discriminator on a AMD x64 CPU system with a 32-bit OS installed then my x64 apps will get installed (and crash). Did I miss something? I read the WPI Info.txt and the changelog but I didn't see anything for that scenario. If WPIW isn't coded to detect that, how do you guys work around that problem? Thanks Kels. Hang in there!
  4. Go for a single 6870. At the resolution you plan to run, you'll get nowhere near saturating this card. Even at 1680x1050 (sweet spot for 22" panels) you'll be fine. The 6870 is quieter than the 6970, which would sound like a dustbuster. Anything higher would sound like a jet taking off. Later, if you need the extra power, you can get a second 6870 for peanuts in a few months. According to this review, the 6870 is faster than Nvidia's fastest single GPU card. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/07/13/bitcoin_mining_gpu_performance_comparison/2 Although, if you NEED the most power you can afford, ALWAYS go for the more powerful single card that your PSU will support. Never overwhelm your PSU.
  5. RVMi is so much better than nlite. I had problems also until I stopped using nlite a few years ago. I've also found various problems with OnePiece's work, so I've stopped using anything with OnePiece's name on it and I now have zero problems. Kel's right. Sometimes running these older utilities in a Win7 environment can cause their own problems. XP in a VM is one way around the problem.
  6. Are you sure you're using SP3? Make sure you're not removing WIC after all the integrations are completed.
  7. What error? This addon works perfect for me. Do you mean these Event viewer errors?
  8. 1) I left everything alone on the SSD except for the large files/directories. 2) If your image will fit, then cloning the disc could save you a lot of time. I just did a clean install. 3) On my 120GB Vertex 2 I use symbolic hard links to map very large directories to my 750GB drive. As an example, my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps folder is 25GB on its own.
  9. Sorry, I don't check this thread 50 times a day! At DriverPacks, we don't recommend integrating all the packs into Win7 for precisely the reason you pointed out. The DriverStore folder balloons in size from the integrated drivers. That's just a waste of space in my opinion. For my own builds, I only integrate Chipset & Mass Storage (and sometimes LAN). That's all. The rest I install with my SAD2 script. This keeps the DriverStore folder size to a reasonable level. DISM can't be used to add/remove drivers from an online image. There may be a way to script a driver "cleanup" using pnputil. >pnputil -? Microsoft PnP Utility Usage: ------ pnputil.exe [-f | -i] [ -? | -a | -d | -e ] <INF name> Examples: pnputil.exe -a a:\usbcam\USBCAM.INF -> Add package specified by USBCAM.INF pnputil.exe -a c:\drivers\*.inf -> Add all packages in c:\drivers\ pnputil.exe -i -a a:\usbcam\USBCAM.INF -> Add and install driver package pnputil.exe -e -> Enumerate all 3rd party packages pnputil.exe -d oem0.inf -> Delete package oem0.inf pnputil.exe -f -d oem0.inf -> Force delete package oem0.inf pnputil.exe -? -> This usage screen
  10. HWID tool I try to be many places. Sorry to hijack your thread Legolash2o.
  11. If you are having problems with our DriverPacks, post a note in the support forums at driverpacks.net with your HWIDs and I'll look into it.
  12. Simply adding them to the boot.wim (index 2) is sufficient. Win7 doesn't use "textmode" like XP did. It uses a PE environment. Only Mass Storage drivers need to be integrated into the boot.wim, no others.
  13. Yup, page is fixed and 3.0.0.18 is online at www.xptsp.com Thanks!
  14. We won't make separate vista/win7 packs, but I'll fix the "wrong driver for boot.wim" bug in the next Mass Storage DriverPacks release. Thanks for reporting. But really, you should have reported this bug over at www.driverpacks.net
  15. Yes, you've got PM. Wim Leers (owner of DriverPacks.net) asked Legolash2o to specifically limit the DriverPacks download information and remove the direct download links from the W7toolkit. Shortly after that, we moved to a 100% bittorrent distribution so the original problem (ad links) was removed. None of the scripts I wrote are required (or used) by the W7toolkit.I hope this clarifies things a bit more.
  16. @ChiefZeke, I think you're confused as to the nature of my scripts. I'll explain better: SAD2: Designed to be executed on a currently running system (online), either NT5 or NT6, and UPGRADE the drivers on that system. SAD=Stand Alone Drivers disc Support forum: http://forum.driverp...id=41590#p41590 Integration-scripts: Designed to inject/integrate drivers into a NT6 .wim (offline) file using DISM. Support forum: http://forum.driverp...pic.php?id=5199 You have to make a determination on whether you want to add drivers to an online or offline installation, and select the correct method. Please take your DriverPacks-specific questions to our support forums. Legolash2o's toolkit works as it's meant to. As to the bittorrent files, I think we explained it rather well in the current News post: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5253
  17. I don't know, I never integrate ALL the DriverPacks. I only integrate Chipset, Mass Storage, LAN & WLAN. I use my SAD2 script to install ALL the dps post-install.
  18. I wrote some scripts to do exactly that! Here: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5199
  19. Windows XP End Of Support Countdown Gadget Can we get this added? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=53a27766-0168-4617-b44e-74b2886cec6d
  20. Yes. If you download software you haven't purchased legally, you are committing online software piracy. MDL is a known haven for pirates. By posting the direct download links, MDL (and the user who posted) are circumventing the online purchase system. It's the circumvention that is illegal, not the links. That's the equivalent of posting the lock combination to your local banks' vault. Digital River is the approved/authorized online distribution host used by M$ themselves. Purchasing a TechNet subscription is still the cheapest method of legally obtaining not only the images, but the keys as well. $180 online for a 1 yr subscription. http://www.pcconnect...ci_sku=11112673
  21. That's not as difficult as you may think!
