hi, i use this very same board and i am having some issues. after setup completes, in device manager i have a "pci device" with a yellow exclamation mark. i update the driver by letting it search my cd (im using method 1) and it comes up with a message saying something like "please insert disk labeled UAA", i point it to the system32 folder on the systemdrive and it installs. then naturally my souncard shows up and i install the driver by searching the cdrom. i have the latest version of all the bts packs as of the 10th of august. i am using the long svcpack.inf way to install my updates. when i was using ryanvm's update pack it was working. i have done some homework on this. although my knowledge of this is VERY basic. ive done some comparing of the txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf txtsetup.sif from when i was using ryanvms method. txtsetup.sif using bts method. the only differences i can see between them both (besides the double entries) is that some of ryanvm's entries have double spaces and they are in a different order. files section of dosnet.inf ryanvm's method: from bts pack method: once again doubled, ryanvm's entries are in a different order compared to those of bts's method, however i believe that to be irrelevent. but i may be wrong. i believe it is a kb888111 not being installed correctly as my system needs me to install the "pci card" driver by pointing it to the system32 folder then it installs all the UAA stuff. when i can i will edit the txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf on my newer cd with those from the ryanvm when it was working and test that. am i on the right track? what else can i do to get my issue resolved?
