The Device Manager no longer work after Batch 10. After Batch 16, I was somehow able to reload the Device Manager and saw a number of exclamation marks on some devices, including the Processor. Anyone tried re-installing the CPU driver and the results?
Follow Ups:
It sounds much better without it. These drivers that are deleted are for very old processors.
I have deleted them and forgotten. Never a single problem.
Serge.
with such a "scary" name I never tried deleting this one.
When I read about it it is an obvious one.
As they say looks can be deceiving!
My list will now become shorter.
Rick, and everybody! Lately we hve been compacting, reducing our registry, including yours truly (Registry Mechanic said, mine is smth like 4,9 now) but noone reported any sonic change or result. Is there any reason in reduction?
Serge.
occupied with some other tweaks at the time. crusoe, amd-something, processor and intelsmth sys and dlls were suggested for deletion by me at the time of part 11-14, can't say exactly, don't really remember.
This is the picture of my folders: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/9/98163.html See my other folders beside that post, Now I have also removed (thanks to your suggestion of ps/2 mouse) several usb sys files. What about VOLSNAP.SYS? Can it also be deleted, as we don't install volume shadow copy?
I have managed with AWE, but had to remake an NLite installation myself. Tried Batch files, but easiest way was to open windows from another windows, just exterminate every flea inside and copy into empty directory files from my OLD WINDOWS directory. no batches, no nothing... Piece of cake. Certainly, You have to first come all the way of deletions to have such a folder. I don't mean You, I mean other folks who may join later on. Also I agree with you that registry is best tweaked manually. This is what I'm going to do tomorrow. Start with a new installation and make everything manually.

I need to quit relying on my memory.
Sorry about that.
Of course, it was on the LISTS!
because I thought it was necessary but looking around I see it just might not have anything to do with a machine using the INTEL CPUs.
You have found another useless file that we can do without IF the machine still works which from what I read I think is likely.
As with the intellppm.sys, which the processr.sys file is mentioned with; is not needed, either.
Of course,t he easiest way to get it back, if it is needed, is just to copy it from another WINDOWS installation and put it back into the drivers folder.
Can't wait to hear if your system works without it!
once you familiarize yourself with the registry you see all of the things that the CONTROL PANEL manipulates.
Working with the registry from another computer simplifies the registry; an advantage.
But I need to be sure which option will offer better SQ. If it is the same with or without the file, I will delete it.
I suspect it will make no difference in SQ by itself.
There is the possibility of a cumulative effect from a less cluttered installation, though.
Seems to be needed by AMD processors from what I read.
Another brilliant mistake!

The driver was "intelppm.sys" removed during Steppe 11 Batch. I searched the Registry on another computer and found some entries relating to this file. The CMP machine is not with me now, will look at it tomorrow and take screenshots.
I recall some other devices with exclamation mark:
Firmware Hub
Microcode Update Device
System Management BIOS Driver
Numeric Data Processor
Programmable interrupt controller
Our goal is to delete unnecessary files that are not going to be used by CPLAY/CMP, or where their removal will improve SQ. The hub and update device etc are already disable anyway, so they will not cause any problem. But the Processor issue demands thorough investigation. I will skip "intelppm.sys" during installation tomorrow and compare the differences.

I've had all these devices disabled in DevManager on my main cMP^2 system for at least a couple of years. I've also disabled the DMA Manager and other devices with (I like to think . . . ) sonic benefits. My hunch is that the likes of DMA are handled by the chipset drivers and that the MS devices are inessential. Whatever, the box seems to work fine without them. Have I removed all the relevant drivers?
Good question.

System Management BIOS Driver,Numeric Data Processor,Programmable interrupt controller are already disable too. See "Step 1 – disable unnecessary system devices

I am going to see what happens when I remove processr.sys tonight.
Should have known you were studying the registry!!!

Most of us just believed that if cmp/cplay works ...all was well. Don't think this was ever discussed.
