fiber Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I have a new computer on the way, and I have the following file with drivers I'd like to integrate.93.71_forceware_winxp2k_english_whql.exeCan I extract all the files from the .exe via WinRAR and then point nLite to a "Multiple Driver Folder" - the folder being what I extracted?Or should I just install it once the install is done?
Kiki Burgh Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 install it first ... then use this tool: [utility] Driver Backup, Searches for and backs up installed device drivers ... once you have the drivers backed-up, insert it in the drivers section of nLite ...

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
jcarle Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) install it first ... then use this tool: [utility] Driver Backup, Searches for and backs up installed device drivers ... once you have the drivers backed-up, insert it in the drivers section of nLite ...Why go through all the trouble? Just extract the nVidia drivers using WinRAR then when you integrate the drivers in nLite, simply pick the XP folder of the nVidia drivers and you're done. Edited May 2, 2007 by jcarle
EneergE Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Well, I just tried integrating the driver using the backup utility's saved files. It only worked partially...The drivers are installed and working perfectly, but I have no Nvidia Control Panel or tab in my display properties' advanced menu.I need that menu/panel.

They're utilities for the drivers.

fiber Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 nuhi: Thanks.I'm not sure what you mean by "betas" though.
nuhi Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 Beta nVidia driver, like newest leaked, not on their official site...they are quite often.Well Windows usually skip those while installing Windows and install Standard VGA driver instead. Then we remove it and thus force it to take the beta.
fiber Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 Thanks - I'll be using the official driver so I should be good to go.Thanks for your help.
