Astalavista Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Will this work?I have the lastest ATI driver in 003_Videoand the latest Nvidea driver in 004_Videothat way regardless of what video card i install using the Unattended XP it willinstall the latest drivers.
SiMoNsAyS Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 why don't you use a better named folders like "003_Video_Ati" and "003_Video_NVidia"?? they both work
Astalavista Posted August 16, 2004 Author Posted August 16, 2004 I am very lazy...so it is 003_video 004_video for me
RichTJ99 Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 So, is the idea for us to unzip the nvidia drivers (& ATI) into the folder? Will it silently install the full driver / control panel?
grimman Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Regular ATI drivers won't install control panel by default... however, Omega's driverpack will.http://www.omegadrivers.net/Those aren't signed, if you need that info. ;>If you want, you can extract the regular ATI drivers and the Omega drivers and create a hybrid driver pack by using the Omega driverpack inf-files located in 2KXP_INF folder instead of the regular ATI infs. You will have to add the missing files to the ATI driver folder though, and figuring out which ones you need might be a bit tedious.Normally though, this isn't necessary at all, Omega drivers will work just fine, so unless you know what you're doing, don't bother. Oh, and a personal opinion... why bother including unpacked drivers in the first place? They change alot, and will most likely be outdated in a very short while.
Mosselman Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 I am very lazy...so it is 003_video 004_video for me too proud to admit a inperfection?haha anyway nice post, really helped me (am a new at this (though not a newb )...
Astalavista Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 Control Panel ??? do we really need it? I just stick to the defaults any ways.convince me.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Mosselman, i not to proud to admint a imperfection... simply put i am just LAZY. joke joke... i have already renamed my folders to ATI n Nvidia
grimman Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 If you made a concious choice to use the default settings and to not install the control panel, then no... but if you just use default because you never checked the control panel out, then at the very least you should try the cpanel.Anyway, the response was directed at RichTJ99 who asked if the control panel was included. =)
Astalavista Posted August 17, 2004 Author Posted August 17, 2004 I have install the control panel before but i just leave everything to default settings. But if you can tell me what tweaks i can do then i am all EARS... hehehheeh
grimman Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 I personally change my gamma a bit, but that's about it. Maybe sometimes I change some AA/AF-settings in OpenGL/DX.
MtK Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 @Astalavista:Which file do u have in the 003_Video_NVidia folder?the entire installation extracted or only the drivers (if so, which)
Astalavista Posted September 10, 2004 Author Posted September 10, 2004 i have everything in it.by the way there is a new ati driver 4.8i hv a 16 dual layer dvd writer now so space is not a problem.
MtK Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 so, in that case, you could let windows unattendedly install the drivers, & after that, run the setup for Control Panel & other stuff you need...
