App keeps giving errors on multiple systems ( WINXP_SP2_DOTNET.v1.1 \ 2.0 + all updates )

I haven't been able to figure out what goes wrong, but somehow things get messed-up.

I added a screenshot of the error...anyone having this issue too? + a solution?

Thx in advance;)

@ vaternl - I believe it's fixed. try new version .79 and let me know.

[VATERNL]

Thx

I will have a look and let you know about my findings;)


##update##

Sorry m8....it still keeps crashing with script errors.
I only could run this app once succesfully - actually, it only ran great at the very first time I tried it on a XP box.

If you would like to have some more info...just let me know and I will collect it;)

I found a freeware package called DriverMax which does a fantastic job. In fact I use this to extract installed drivers & use them to create customised FULLY unattended installation CDs for the clients for their specific machines. Works absolutely flawlessly.

Please, can you post a link for DriverMax?
Thanks

I tried it and it does not compare to IcemanND's Driver Backup... It wants to back up everything and theres no way to tell it to only back up the non Microsoft Drivers...

Sorry for the bump but this is great

@IcemanND

Great idea with great potential. I really like the idea of such a tool.

I tried this tool a while back. I tested it on a Dell Latitude D410 notebook and selected to backup ALL non-Microsoft drivers. I thought it hung, so I aborted it and never tried it again

Just now I just gave it another try, using the same system but this time I backed up only one driver.



The first driver I ask it to backup took over 5 minutes just to backup 3 tiny files:



What's taking so long?

there's a utility called double driver, it's freeware, extremely effective and used by the PE community for some time. It's my personal choice anyway.

I am sure there are alot of similar programs out there. I personally use Driver Genius Professional for the last few years.





It is no doubt the best on the market. It can backup, backup to zip, backup to self-extracting EXE, backup to auto-install EXE, search, download and update new drivers, etc, etc, etc, It's only US30 for the Pro - I think it's well worth it.

But I am constantly looking for one that is good, stable, AND FREE FOR COMMERCIAL use (for work really). So far I have yet to find such a thing. Sorry, Double Driver is light years away...

Double driver misses a lot of files.
Driver genius isn't free for the full version, and I've had the free version miss files.

Mine is free for anyone to use, and though it may still have a few bugs, it will pull all of the files for a driver that it finds.

I'm currently working on an updated version which is faster. The file search is the slowest part of the application and I've managed to narrow the searches and speed them up but there are still a few issues before I release it for general consumption.

Using driverbackup79
Running Win2k sp4

Hit scan machine and got;

nvidia geforce2 gts/geforce2 pro

via cpu to agp controller
via standard cpu to pci bridge
win2000 promise ultra 100 ide controller(pdc20265)

Hit backup drivers and got;

backup path: c:\driverbackup
working folder: c:\docume~1\admini~1\locals~1\temp
listbox line: d-link dfe-530tx+ pci adapter

locating drivers for d-link dfe-530tx+ pci adapter
creating folder: c:\driverbackup\d-link dfe-530tx+ pci adapter

Then it stops with an internet explorer script error.

!An error has occured in the script on this page.

line: 2029
char: 2
error: could not complete the operation due to error 80041017

Happens every time backing up 1 driver, several, or all.
I'm hoping the next version will fix it.

Never been tested with W2k, at least to my knowledge.
v2 should work with 2k, hope to release it by the end of the week.

[elbrute]

Excellent. I'll be watching for it.

[daddydave]

I too am looking forward to this working in Windows 2000. Looks like a great tool. And maybe this thread should be made "sticky"?

[kickarse]

You want to replace any \ with \\ in your code because \ refers to a command

[IcemanND]

Version 2 which is almost complete has been completely rewritten from beginning to end. I hope to have it finalized and ready for alpha testing by the end of the first week of January.

[geezery]

I'm getting an error every time I press backup.

Line: 1897
Char: 5
Error: No value given for one or more required parameters
Code: 0

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

YES/NO


And when I press yes nothing happens.

When I press backup again there comes other error message.

Line 1882
Char 3
Error: Operation is not allowed when the object is open
Code 0

YES / NO

And I can not do anything with this prog.

[glent]

Excellent app, looking forward to the new version

[Jeremy]

Yeah, what's the IE scipt errors? Nice that you are making something I've wanted for ages but Driver Genius 2005 Pro works for me each time.
