Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Has anyone figured this out, yet? I have this exact same problem, although it's with the nVidia drivers rather than a network card. I'm sure many others here must be using an nVidia card - how do you force Windows to install the newer, but unsigned, drivers rather than the built-in ones?Thanks.By removing the ones in Drivers.cab If you really want to go advanced, take a look at this guide and use CTRL+F to search for "video", you'll see . I would NOT recommend this, too much work!Bâshrat the Sneaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitro322 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Shoot, I was afraid that was going to be the answer.Ok, if you don't mind, I could use a little bit of assistance here. I can unpack drivers.cab file with WinRAR (are there any other cab files I need to worry about?), and I'm sure I can identify the old driver files with a little work. However, how do I recreate the cab file once I'm finished? WinRAR can't do this, and I don't recall seeing any other programs to create generic MS cab files.EDIT: After a little more research I found the Microsoft Cabinet SDK, which includes makecab.exe. This should do the trick, right? Anything special I should be away of?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 If I remember this well (and I'm quite sure I do ), nLite can remove drivers out of Drivers.cab for you. You just have to unselect the drivers you don't want to be there.P.S.: makecab is standard included in Windows XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
