      @nameless faceless Yes you can add any of the driver packs next to the existing LAN/WLAN driver pack folder.
      And the other driver packs were not added because whit those more complicated drivers, it can happen that an incorrect driver gets installed.

      @Ramsey thank you for reply but there is something wrong with realtek sound card drivers. i install everything and every driver correctly. scan with everything i can found (drp, iobit driver booster, driver max etc. ) and even manually install realtek hd sound driver but there is literally nothing about "sound" on my laptop. im using your integral versions before on same laptop ( last year i guess) . but this issue is new to me. maybe i should keep using older versions.

    Ramsey, duing all the years I've slipstreamed my own XP, or tested variations, none has ever come close to your quality. A true masterpiece. All I need to do is fix the SIF to rename userprofile folders. (I can dual boot to 7 or 10 but stick with xp as it's a more efficient environment.) And thanks to RuLan4ik for browsers.

      @Neal Cullum A question that is asked from time to time. Unfortunately not. Computers that can run Windows 7 can cope with Windows 10. Windows XP is maintained for use with older programs and also for nostalgic reasons. No point in 'riding two dead horses'.

      @The Fugitive Good point but then why are there even USB 3.0 or NVME drivers in this pack? I know damn well there is not a single machine that has both of those and can't handle windows 7.

      You can try out Windows 10 and see if you happy with the speed.
      An alternative would be a Linux Operating System like Pop_OS!.

      Windows XP SP3 already includes the UAA driver.

      Dennis · 3 years ago
      @Ramsey The UAA driver must be seriously corrected or generally better without one, because there is unquestionable conflict between UAA Microsoft driver and factory sound drivers. We are all understand that it is war of Microsoft and what is place in this war of Integral Edition will show the future.

      @Dennis Windows XP SP3 does NOT include a generic HD Audio driver.

      The 'hdaudio.sys' driver included in KB835221/KB888111 update is not generic and only works with very few, very early HD audio devices. You can see that in the INF file included in the update.

      SP3 does NOT come with 'hdaudio.sys' driver.

      SP3 only comes with the 'hdaudbus.sys' which is the HD Audio Bus driver.
      It's listed as Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio under System devices in Device Manager.
      It must be present since all manufacturers of HD Audio drivers for Windows XP expect the Microsoft UAA Bus Driver to be there.
      In other words, without the Microsoft UAA Bus Driver, there will be no HD Audio devices present in the Device Manager that can be installed using Realtek HD Audio drivers.
      As Ramsey pointed out in the link he provided, if you're having problems, you should remove the Bus Driver device and make system reinstall it automatically by rebooting. After which you can install Realtek HD Audio drivers and everything should work.

      You should not install KB835221/KB888111 on Windows XP SP3!

      I struggled with this myself, reinstalling the UAA Bus Driver and using Realtek HD Audio drivers always solved issues for me. Or you can use a cheap USB Sound Card as a workaround. Or a compatible PCI/PCI-E Sound Card. Plenty of options.
