looks good, will be installing on a fresh install of xp/sp3 rc1 slipstream in a minute.

just comparing with squall's remix and noticed you included an older version of the audio (4.65 vs 4.66) and ethernet driver (4.71 vs 5.38). also the installer is an older version (4.46 vs 5.17)

any reason for the above?

I only use drivers (and installers) that were specifically compiled for WinXP and the NF2 chipsets. My reasoning is simply to be "safe". Audio driver v4.66 is a Vista driver. Ethernet driver v5.38 is actually an "NRM" driver intended for NF3 and up Ethernet controllers (our NF2 boards have "PreNRM" ethernet controllers). The installer v4.46 is the same one used in the last official NF2 chipset package v5.10 from NV and works fine.

[scott21]

I see.

Well everything seemed to go fine except the audio driver wouldn't install through the installer or device manager. I'm on an abit nf7-s v2 board (if that matters).

Sorry about that. I've updated the package with Installer v4.78 International. It's the installer from the last official nvaudio package. It's still WinXP and NF2 specific. The package will work on any NF2 board. Please try again.

[scott21]

will do, just waiting on an updated link

[AdvModDev]

Should be up now.

[scott21]

still doesn't want to install the audio drivers, probably an issue with the inf file?

[authenticamd]

Can I install the drivers over squall's remix 11.16?

I'm really sorry dude. Now I remember, Squall had the exact same problem with audio driver v4.65 when they were released awhile back on MSFT Update. The inf files were indeed messed up and nobody could get them to install. Squall fixed it and I'll do the same but it will break WHQL. So when you install this version via the NV installer, you're gonna get a ton of popup "unsigned driver" warnings. But give me a few minutes to fix and reupload.

Can I install the drivers over squall's remix 11.16?

Yeah, but I would'nt bother because the only difference would be the Ethernet and Audio drivers. But if you insist, you would essentially be installing WinXP-specific versions of those drivers (instead of hacked Vista and NRM versions). One other difference would be an updated SMbus driver that was recently released.
