Hi, Do any of you have older or driver archives? I've just spent an hour looking for drivers for a motherboard and getting nowhere. It's an MSI board, the model number so far as I was told was RX480m4 or RX482m4 I think from the google results I've seen is it's an AMD 939 chipset. I need motherboard chipset, and onboard audio. If anyone has them I'd appreciate it, I'll keep trying google. Thanks. Dave.
I Just pay for driveragent $40 a year, It scans for ddrivers and gives me a zip full of drivers. that way I get all the drivers in one fell swoop. failing that many exist on softpedia. Regards, Kerry. On 30/09/2012 10:49 AM, David Mehler wrote:

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 Because .7z archives are unfortunately outdated.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.
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where they have integrated all of the driver packs for you so all you would have to do is run the installer; it's quite out of date now, but given that we're probably looking at a 6/7 year old system here you should be good.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. On 9/30/12, Mgr. Janusz Chmiel <chmiel@deep.cz> wrote:

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:

Dear master, Driverpacks.exe will use HAL capability of Windows to autodetect devices, it can even safely update devices assigned as system devices in control panel, so even chipset would be updated. Check right radio button, install drivers, default radio button is set to install programs and drivers. Use NVDA to carefully read The WEB interface of this program. System can be updated without no need to reinstall it. Please keep in mind, that when Intel chipsets will be updated, system will plug and unplug The USB devices, so You can lose speech of NVDA. I will tell You about offline driver update tool compatible with Windows preinstalled environment, so You would update offline system from running Windows preinstalled environment without issues. But this information will may be come tomorrow. Driverpacks solution can not be used from Windows PE, plug and play calls and HAL calls are incompatible with this mode of Windows operating system.
Hi, Yes, if you prep them on another machine (Or even the target one if you wanted scene as you have speech), it gives you a script that you run which extracts the packs and installs the required drivers and then cleans up after itsself. It can take a while to download all of the packs but once you've done it, it does come in very handy. Audio drivers can be a bit problematic sometimes so I do feel your pain. A while back I found a joblot of basic creative pci cards on eBay, so if after a couple of hours I'm unable to get audio working I just bung one of them in since Windows has drivers for them. It doesn't really solve the problem as in you still haven't found the correct drivers, but from a users point of view they can still listen to their music so they probably won't notice the difference. It's a little bit different in your situation though since you're looking for chipset as well. Cheers, Ben. On 9/30/12, Mgr. Janusz Chmiel <chmiel@deep.cz> wrote:

Hi, Is this http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/RS482M4-FD--ILD--IL--L.html the one you're after? You should be able to have a good guess by feeling the connectors on the back and seeing if they match up with what MSI says it should have. Realtek drivers can get a bit tricky if you're trying multiple different ones. Make sure to uninstall every driver that doesn't work before trying the next one; otherwise, even if you install the correct one, it just won't work & will act like it's the wrong one. Why on earth Realtek couldn't have just provided us with a universal driver for each of their chips I'll never know; I really don't buy that they've been customized so much by OEM's that a basic universal driver isn't possible.

Hello Everyone, Ben, yah that link is the board I've got to finesce in to working. I've seen that site and it is telling me about MSI's live update 5, I had someone with some eyes run it on the machine it's taking forever to download, I'm hoping it won't time out. I'm telling it to grab chipset, audio, and network, the auto install from live 5 didn't work, I'm hoping a download and manual install will. I'm running out of options with this machine. If the download utility won't give them to me then am I SOL? Thanks. Dave. On 9/30/12, Ben Mustill-Rose <ben@benmr.com> wrote:

Hi, To be honest I didn't spend much time looking at that page, but I assumed there would be a link to where you could download drivers for it. If not, perhaps theres a manual that will have the exact models of the components that it uses? That way you could hopefully find them with a bit of Googling? It still might be worth trying the driverpacks if all else fails. Cheers, Ben. On 9/30/12, David Mehler <dave.mehler@gmail.com> wrote:

Check right radio button, install drivers, default radio button is set to install programs and drivers. Use NVDA to carefully read The WEB interface of this program.
System can be updated without no need to reinstall it. Please keep in mind, that when Intel chipsets will be updated, system will plug and unplug The USB devices, so You can lose speech of NVDA.
I will tell You about offline driver update tool compatible with Windows preinstalled environment, so You would update offline system from running Windows preinstalled environment without issues.
But this information will may be come tomorrow.
Driverpacks solution can not be used from Windows PE, plug and play calls and HAL calls are incompatible with this mode of Windows operating system.

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.
