Driver Integration - what did I do wrong?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm using an XP box now, and I have Vista installed on a separate partition. I did a search on these forums on how to integrate drivers, because I couldn't figure it out myself, and I found these instructions: Go to the windows\inf folder, look for the oem1.inf, oem2.inf, etc. files, open them up, find the name of the original .inf file, locate that file, and choose that file under vLite integration.

I tried to do this, but I must have made a mistake, because no drivers were integrated.

For example, under oem4.inf in my "windows\inf" folder, I found my monitor driver information. It says: "CatalogFile=VX2235wm.cat", so I found that file under: F:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\vx2235wm.inf_a0de664d, and in that folder I found vx2235wm.inf, which is the exact .inf file for my driver.

So under vLite I chose that file for integration (among my other drivers), but when I installed Vista it gave me only generic drivers.

Can anybody help me please?

Thanks!

i always download the drivers from the manufacturer's website and integrate those, its easier and probably better cos you can then get rid of the original windows ones :)
