Now I want to get some drivers for chipsets/graphics/sound/NIC's.

Anyone know where I can get a list of most common chipsets? This is going to be the tricky bit!

lee634

not sure about the drivers but seems a good list of programs,
what about boot disks for various OS's ???

T4i

I've already got this.

Brilliant CD.

village_life

are these for commercial jobs or jobs your doing for friends?

if the former then i hope youve checked out all your licensing agreements :-)

T4i

Yup, all checked and correct

Thx for the concern........

more browsers, what about the aol brower [url]Http://beta.aol.com[/url] opera , and flock.

i thought you had to pay for nero?
dont know if you want any of these but i thought i would mention them for you

that is a very good list of programs, also what about messengers, like msn, even windos if you need it, there is yahoo, gmail, AIM, then the Trillion(dont know if i spelt it right)



Also go to oldversion.com and get some older software from there.

what about winzip and win rar!

media players, the DVIX player

what is the ultimate boot cd? what does it do?

if i think of anything else i will let you know

How about a couple of apps that don't require installation

Foxit Pdf reader - which would let you read the instruction manuals if Adobe reader hasn't been installed yet.

universal Extractor - apart from the usaul files an extractor can open, it can open some installers so you can get the missing files without re-installing

Euwww!

ffdshow is DirectShow and VFW codec for decoding/encoding many video and audio formats, including DivX and XviD movies using libavcodec, xvid and other opensourced libraries with a rich set of postprocessing filters.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/

It's the best video codec going, lets divx be displayed in pretty much any player, and is completely free.

I personally prefer Ewido for "sickware"

Thx for the replies.

I added:-

MSN7.5
Driver Cleaner
Foxit pdf
Intel Drivers
Nvidia Drivers
VIA Drivers
SIS Drivers
Nvidia Drivers
ATi Drivers
SB/Audigy Drivers
AC97 (not sure if these are included with the VIA's)
Winamp 2.71
SP2

698MB in total so thats about it for now. Makes it so much easier when you can take 1 or 2 cd's with you instead of a box full.

once you are ok with what you have, why not add more? software from download.com and put them in different folders like audio software, video editing, and use a dvd, you could get som many programs one disc
