hi there. i have been lurking these forums for some time now, and unfortunately am unable to find the remedy to this problem. the last time i slipstreamed and created an unattended install winXPpro SP2 was a few months ago with nLite v1.35 and encountered no problems whatsoever. since then i have lost that unattended installation and with the latest release of SP3 i was wanting to make an unattended winXPpro SP3 installation. so i went and downloaded the current version of nLite 1.45 and went ahead with the same processes of slipstreaming and integrating addons etc. to my installation. every cd i have made so far has resulted in the BSOD directly after the initial driver loading stage of the winXP setup. initially i thought it may have been corruption in some of the addons or possibly BSTDriverPacks i was integrating, and/or also modifying the components and settings in windows itself, so i eliminated that from the next slipstream alltogether and kept it completely clean, slipstreaming ONLY SP3. still receiving the BSOD i thought it may have been a corrupted SP3, so i re-downloaded the pack and low and behold the same error occured. i tested further by slipstremaing cleanly SP2 only, and low and behold, still encounterd the BSOD, regardless of whether i have slipstreamed SP2 or SP3 using the current nLite v1.45 i encounter this BSOD error. i have also re-downloaded and re-installed nLite incase it was corrupted and STILL encountering the BSOD. so going from being able to at least make an unattended SP2 install with addons and drivers etc., i cant even do that much with the current version of nLite. the winXPpro SP2 source installation cd i am using works flawelessly so this is obviously not the issue. i am just wondering if there is something i may be doing wrong considering it used to work flawlessly prior to updating to the newest nLite. also is anybody else encountering this particular problem? any suggestions are greatly welcome. cheers, marty sorry i forgot to mention the exact problem is.... *** STOP 0x0000007B (0xF795E524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
