I remembered this problem before, well not so much a problem just an annoyance with the Intel INF drivers, in Windows 7, I thought I had installed them fine and everything worked fine, a bit of reading around and I see a post mentioning how to install them correctly, by using the Run command and pointing it to the driver package and adding ''-overall'' to the end of the run box (without the quotes) and it did load and install much more than before.
Well I have been using Windows 8 since release and forgot all about the above until last night when I remembered what I had done with 7, and guess what, same again, the drivers I thought I had installed correctly had not, I use the run box with that command at the end and it installs a load more, check my WEI score and re-run it and my CPU is now 8.3 where as it was 8.1, so an improvement for very little hassle, but hassle I shouldn't have had, so just why is it that Intel INF drivers never install correctly?
But they wasn't installed, the drivers that was being used was Microsoft drivers from 2006, now I am using drivers labeled with a date of 2012 and manufacturer Intel.
Some of the one's labelled Intel was not like that before for me, the LPC I think was a microsoft driver and some others, you should have seen it install a load more, if you had installed before and tried to install without adding -overall it would usually not show any installed, so I know it did install more for me.
I just find it odd that they don't install when running the package normal, as I said above my CPU score went from 8.1 to 8.3, so they must be doing something, I have a feeling it will improve transfer speeds from my camera as it is quite slow compared to Windows 7, just got to try it now.
