its paraphrasing, but when w1zz released ATItools early betas/alphas, he said something along the lines of 'go easy, i suck at programming'

just think of programming as trolling CPU's. you'll be fine.

Meow9000 · Aug 18, 2011

Found a problem not with the program itself but the name, as stated by Mussles in the 3rd post.

There's a program with the same name that's basically not very good judging by a quick Google search. It could be a problem if someone was to look for this one, but end up downloading that shoddy crap.

PM w1zzy and ask for tips on updating? i dont think he'll mind helping so long as you get it approved as another one of TPU's apps

its not a TPU app.

My opinion (as, I have tried it and others, only to find it recommends old drivers)- It is another of the driver updating apps that never work worth a darn and sucks at it job.

DriverFinder Review

Quote from their site:

DriverFinder automatically scans, downloads, and installs updated drivers for your PC. Many drivers may be obtained freely by manually visiting device manufacturer websites. Activate DriverFinder for only 29.95 USD for a year's access on up to 3 PCs.

Oops, mis-understood.

The only thing on driver provider I found was a youtube video and the link in the video, at driverupdater.info, takes you to software called Easy Driver Updater. Note: This was after a quick search.

Do some feeler for names. Let's have a contest!

Edit: mention contest and the thread gets peeps!

Thanks for the patience. I'll see what I can do. What build? I'm at work I'll see if I can get something out tonight or tommrrow around mid day.

I am sorry, what do you mean by build?

Solaris17 said:
What would you guys think of workstation type components? Tyan etc?

If you could do it, it would be nice and could come in handy. Tyan, Supermicro, HP, DELL, Clevo/Eurocom laptops and I think I'm still missing a few.

Solaris17 said:
unfortunetely i have tried and what seems to be the case is that in order to lower the version of .net required i need to rebuild from scratch. Which means that anyone that doesnt want to upgrade or has an illegal version of windows is going to be angry with me. because iv decided im just not going to rebuild it. I'll test out another option one more time. If it doesnt work then it just doesnt work.

I'm not angry at you.

lol. I'm actually going to install .NET 4.0 to continue to help you with this project.

Still complains I don't have .NET 4.0

but i dont know what to do as a prize?

The prize could be appearing in the credits of the program.

Meow9000 · Aug 18, 2011

"Provider" suggests your including or providing the drivers, where as what the program does is provide a "driver quick link" ultimately.

Oh actually that could work,

Yoz haz a PM!

Easy Rhino · Aug 19, 2011

keep up the good work.

Derek12 · Aug 19, 2011

Very nice! though I saw one bug (maybe) xDD

The Gigabyte button only goes to the motherboard's section, the correct link would be http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/download-center.aspx

the rest of buttons seem to be fine.

Many thanks

Meow9000 · Aug 19, 2011

Probably because it was on the Motherboard Tab *wink*

Edit: Probably best to add the links to the GPU and peripheral pages in the next revision

why? I have an nvidia and ATI button for that?

Solaris17 · Aug 19, 2011

new nightly is up. I will probably make this or .27 .28 a stable release.

GSquadron · Aug 19, 2011

It would be nice if the graphics section would have subdivisions:
GPU (Ati/Nvidia/Sis)
Manufacters (Saphire/Xfx/Palit/Asus/....)

Solaris17 · Aug 19, 2011

but why? you need drivers for your nvidia card you go to nvidia. the issue I am having is that I want to keep duplicates to a minimum. And unnecessarys out all together. if nvidias and AMDs drivers are universal then why do i want to create a link to each manufacturers driver page?

if I get a good argument to either of the above arguments I will think about adding them. and let it be publicly noted meow9000 is doing the art, he is making company "buttons" I feel bad enough as it is doing nightly builds and putting more numbers to what he already has to do. Why would I want to create more work for him than is necissary?

Yea, your correct there. There's no need as GPU drivers are universal no matter what the company.

GSquadron · Aug 19, 2011

But there are people who just know the manufacturer
Anyway good luck

if thats the case Then their is a problem I cant fix. And that is that some manufacturers make cards for both companies.

EDIT: nvm found a fix for this problem. will edit build.
