Hi, Thanks. I've got a question. This machine has already been installed, can I use driverpacks now without reinstalling the system? Here's what I know, I have a USB audio device giving me audio and NVDA as speech. Using that I checked xp's system information the board is in fact MSI, it says the model number is MS-7191. It either uses an RS480 chipset or an ATI Xpress 200 google shows me both Right now I'm looking for chipset and audio, the audio is integrated Realtek ALC655. Ideally I'd like to crack open these driverpacks and install does it work like that? Thanks. Dave On 9/30/12, Ben Mustill-Rose <ben@benmr.com> wrote:
Hi,
MSI boards are usually like MS-xxxx or MS-xxxxyy when it comes to model numbers; also, 939 is the socket type and not the chipset; 939 is just like am2 except it uses DDR fyi. I'd echo what has been said about using driverpacks.net; you can prep a driver installer on a machine with speech then just run the dp_install_tool.cmd file on the target machine which is easy enough to do without sound. If you're feeling lazy, there is a torrent (Nothing illegal) that someone has made where they have integrated all of the driver packs for you so all you would have to do is run the installer; it's quite out of date now, but given that we're probably looking at a 6/7 year old system here you should be good.
If you're having problems working out what hardware is inside, you could try using something like Vinux or GRML to id the hardware assuming it has drivers for it; I've done this a couple of times now with fairly good results.
Let us know if you get it sorted.
Cheers, Ben.

Dear sir, What about try to use The utility available here? http://drp.su/download.htm This .exe program is using The GUI based on Microsoft Internet explorer trident engine, so The user interface is like browsing The WEB page.
You can experiment by adding .7z archives byrespecting The file names used inside The archive of driverpack solution. Because .7z archives are unfortunately outdated. Driverpack will reindex The data file according to The new .7z archives. New drivers can be downloaded from www.driverpacks.net When somebody on The world will allow users to store 10 GB for free, with direct links support, i will upload driverpacks solution and 7z archives from driverpacks.net so every system administrators will not be forced to use bittorrent. But for now, The situation is like is now.
