Some drivers use the same inf file ("setup.inf" I think), and obviously you can't have drivers overwriting other drivers' files. I use three to six character directory names like: $oem$\$1\drv\e100 $oem$\$1\drv\3c901c $oem$\$1\drv\gforce Etc. But I'm only installing to WinXP, so I don't need several versions of the same driver. -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- Systems Administrator DigiPen Institute of Technology (425) 895-4443 |
