I noticed something funky with my Windows Re-installs.I was getting several corrupt driver installs until I got .NET Framework installed.After that everything went smooth as silk.
It Corrupted the Following drivers, Graphics (Video card) driver,Sound card driver,Network driver and it would not even let me install the SATA drivers or Raid Monitoring utilities that I use.
After Installing .NET FrameWork it let me install my NIC driver and all 164 windows updates without a hiccup.
It's a good thing that I downloaded the Redistributable copy of .NET Framework and burnt it to disk or I would of been screwed.I have 2 older versions of Windows 7 64 without SP1.It doesn't have drivers for the newer Intel NIC.
I almost reinstalled the whole OS again after it corrupted those drivers but Managed to get Driver Sweeper to run and reinstalled the drivers.
