hi, was wondering if any of the new services in XP sp3 are required in order for wireless to function properly.

could it be possible that something i removed from my winxp install disk is now preventing me from forwarding ports? i have tried everything i can think of, but every port i try to open is reported as closed. i can give more information if needed.

ok, i did 2 test installs today: -in one i did the exact same things as my first install, except i didnt integrate IE7. IE7 was installed after windows installation. -in the other i did everything in a single nLite session, including integrating IE7. ...both were done in VM, both showed the "browse for folder" box just fine. so basically i now have a working ISO for future installs, which is good. but does anyone know if its possible to fix this on my current install, w/o having to format and reinstall winXP? again, thanks in advance for any help.

yes, but is there a post-install fix for this? as nuhi said, this is a documented problem...

original XP x64 SP1 disc + SP2 + IE7 + no hotfixes, tested in VM...and no problems maybe it would help to describe how i integrated: 1. start with XP x64 SP1 2. integrate SP2 with nlite, quit nlite 3. integrate WMP11 and hotfixes w/ booogy's integrator 4. use ryanvm integrator to integrate 3 addons that do not affect system files 5. nlite: tweaks, removal, integrate my computer's drivers, IE7 and its hotfixes, and all XP hotfixes. 100% unattended install. final disc size approx. 600 MB. my guess is that so many steps/modifications caused nLite to produce a few small errors? one more thing i noticed though...internet explorer shortcuts were never created. i dont mind this, as i use firefox. but maybe it will help figure out exactly what is wrong. and nuhi, is there ANY post install solution to this? i would like to avoid a reformat + reinstall at all costs.

^so this is my problem: in most (but not all) programs where you must browse for a folder (foobar2000, Recuva, etc.), i cannot even see the folder treeview, much less browse for a folder, because the entire area is greyed out. Other than the shortcuts for the "Games" not appearing (not a big deal, I created them manually), my windows install went perfectly. And this is not a major issue...but for programs like Recuva where the "browse for folder" dialog is the ONLY way you can use the program, it's kind of important. And if at all possible, I would prefer NOT to have to format and reinstall. i think "tree view" is what's missing, although I don't think there is an option in nLite (or a viable reason) to do this. If it helps, pressing "windows key + E" which usually brings up an explorer window, generates an error box that says "the parameter is incorrect". something else i noticed - in the "save as" dialog in microsoft office, if i click on the "my computer" tab, none of my drives show up. also the treeview isn't broken in all programs...winrar, for example, shows the treeview just fine. Any help is greatly appreciated! :thumbsup_anim: {Windows XP x64 SP2, all updates & hotfixes, WMP11 integrated with Booogy's integrator, IE7 integrated via nLite, used RyanVM for 3 addons that in no way affect system files, all 64-bit drivers up-to-date and working properly} <---yes I'm aware that this isn't the x64 section, but I think this is more of a nlite or general windows question.
