Sgt_Strider Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I tried it with the latest 71.80 drivers and 67.66, but it just doesn't work. This is how I do it, I downloaded the 67.66 drivers and then I extract it with winrar. I copied all of those files to $1\drivers\002_graphicsThis is how my winnt.sif look like:[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=YES OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\000_chipset;drivers\001_network;drivers\002_graphics;drivers\003_sound;drivers\004_monitor" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore UnattendSwitch="yes" TargetPath=\WINDOWSAfter I put that into an .iso and burned it, everything proceeds to install and then I get the blue screen of death.It tells me to make sure the drivers are right, hardware is installed properly and etc. At the bottom of the screen, I get the following technical information:*** STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF6F72184, 0xF7A31D3C, 0xF7A31A38)What's going on here? What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Known problem.Stick to v66.93 (WHQL, approved drivers) and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Strider Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Does the 66.93 supports my Geforce 6600 GT? Will the 66.93 support purevideo? So this problem affects drivers that are newer than 66.93? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_demon Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Your 6600GT is supported by 66.93Check this link for more information about these drivers.If you use the winnt.sif methode, your driver needs to be WHQL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik_demon Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Now comes the tricky part. The installation of unsigned drivers will trigger the usual warning messages.So you may think: "No problem. I just change the 'HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing' value in HIVESFT.INF!"Should work, but does not. Windows Setup resets the "Driver Signing" entries when it starts.This is some info that I found in this topicmaybe you want to use WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe (see topic) for these beta drivers.Another alternative is to install the drivers in RunonceEX or with a batchfile. If you extract the driver, there should be an .ISS included. If you modify this, you can install almost silently. You still get the "driver is not signed" warning (but you can created an AutoIT script to handle with this)I would recommend you to use methode 1 and read the above topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 BTW... this method is used automatically when using DP Graphics A and M2 Maybe a good advice, Sgt Strider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erik_demon Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 @ Sgt_StriderBashrat is using Pyron's methode (see the link in my last post) in his drivers pack.You can downoad Bashrat's packs and modify DP Graphics A (replace the 66.93 drivers in his pack, with the one that you would like to use.)Then, run the DP BASE and choose methode 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Strider Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 So basically any WHQL drivers can be installed by the winnt.sif method? Evem ones that are beta but WHQL certified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 As long as they are WHQL certified, it should work. But where can you find WHQL signed beta drivers? That would definetely amaze me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Will this work with the winnt.sif method?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Only one way to find out - try and see. Also,1. Beta drivers are beta for a reason - I have seen WHQL drivers that are WHQL for all of geforce series except a particular set, and so on....2. If you're testing, you shouldn't be desperate enough to use betas.3. What does the betas give you anyway? Better performance? That perf. improvement is only with top-of-the-line cards (geforce 6800). Moreover, shouldn't you be looking for a functional install first before starting to get perf. benefits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Strider Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 My card is midrange, Geforce 6600 GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
