Ok, I'll try these two suggestions. Will get back when I am done.

Hi again, I am having some problems with my unattended XP setup, one of them when it is still installing programs from my batch file: Batch File: rem Welcome to Windows XP Mini Edition for ASUSPDXP Setup rem This process may take a while to complete TITLE Windows XP Mini Edition for ASUSPDXP Programs Setup rem Preinstallation for /f "tokens=3" %%i IN ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v "SourcePath" ^| findstr "REG_SZ"') do set SOURCE=%%i "%systemroot%\XPMINI\vmcleaner.exe" /w rem Stage 1 - Drivers "%Source%JW\STAGE1\AIBooster\setup.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE1\Probe\setup.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE1\Update\setup.exe" "%systemroot%\XPMINI\vmcleaner.exe" rem Stage 2 - Programs "%Source%JW\STAGE2\diskeepr\idiskeepr.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\iprimopdf.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\i7z.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\ianydvd.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\ifirefox.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\iisobuster.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\iitunes.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\imsn.exe" "%systemroot%\XPMINI\TaskKillS.exe" msnmsgr.exe "%Source%JW\STAGE2\inetworx.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\ipg2.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE2\iutorrent.exe" "%systemroot%\XPMINI\vmcleaner.exe" rem Stage 3 - Addons, Plug-ins "%Source%JW\STAGE3\acrobat\iacrobat.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\iair.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\iflash_fx.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\iflash_ie.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\ijava.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\klite.exe" /verysilent /norestart /LoadInf="klcpf.ini" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\imsnplus.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE3\ishockwve.exe" "%systemroot%\XPMINI\vmcleaner.exe" rem Stage 4 - Security Programs "%Source%JW\STAGE4\iccleaner.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE4\iess.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE4\imbam.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE4\ispybot.exe" "%Source%JW\STAGE4\ispywareb.exe" "%systemroot%\XPMINI\vmcleaner.exe" rem Insert Windows XP Mini Edition Disc 2 to continue installing...

First of all, about when the computer is installing Microsoft Office 2007, it starts to load the taskbar, desktop and the startup programs. This unfortunately, disrupts my other AutoIT scripts as all these programs are demanding the user's interaction. Secondly, I would like to increase the screen resolution. I have already set the screen resolution to 1024x768 on nLite but it doesn't change it to that resoultion (stuck on 640x480) (the display can change to 1024x768 without drivers)

Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to post this... I am trying to get some icons to be shown for the folders: My Pictures, My Music, Windows, Program Files, Temp. The only one that successfully changed icons is the Program Files folder by using desktop.ini and referring it to jw.dll (my own dll!) This is what I put in desktop.ini [.ShellClassInfo] IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\jw.dll IconIndex=39 And then I place it in the folder in $OEM$ in their respective places. Also, is it possible to make the file desktop.ini hidden when it is copied to the hard drive? Thanks.

Try this.. 1. Copy these instructions to Notepad/Word (anything that does not use Flash) 2. Download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashpl...lash_player.exe and save it to your Desktop or somewhere you can find later. 3. Close ALL browsers, text messenging clients (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Google Chrome, Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, anything that uses Flash.) 4. Run uninstall_flash_player.exe. This will remove Adobe Flash Player from all browsers on the system. 5. In the end of the uninstaller, do not quit yet but click "Show Details". If there are any log lines that begin with "Delete on Reboot..." then you'll need to reboot. 6. Download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flash...h_player_ax.exe and save it to your Desktop or somewhere you can find later. 7. Download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flash...lash_player.exe and save it to your Desktop or somewhere you can find later. 8. Close ALL browsers, text messenging clients (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Google Chrome, Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, anything that uses Flash.) 9. Install install_flash_player_ax.exe (Do not reboot yet if it prompts you to). 10. Install install_flash_player.exe (Do not reboot yet if it prompts you to). If that works, that's good... but if not, please provide information about your version of Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera etc.. that will help us help you better. Or you could just disable those notifications in Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger...

Does XP gold/XP SP1 have WPA support and the View Available Wireless Networks? Because the wireless adapter I'm using does not have a configuration manager which means I have to use the "View Available Wireless Networks" to actually type in the password. In summary: Is the "View Available Wireless Networks" option available in XP gold/XP SP1 or is there an alternative way to do this? Does XP gold/XP SP1 support WPA? And yes, it is similar to the link you gave me, jaclaz. Although it did not say anything underneath STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8103DC40, 0xFC1FEB9C, 0xFC1FE898). Not enough space to run XP/2003? I got 2 partitions (FAT32) with two partitions, 1 has 3.30GB/7.36GB free (Windows 95) and the other has 29.1GB/29.8GB free. The computer BIOS might be incompatible with Windows XP, or it might have to be updated... XP worked before, I'm certain of that. The video adapter drivers might be incompatible with Windows XP. I did not use nLite on XP or Server 2003 and it uses the Windows generic drivers anyway.. A device driver or a system service might be damaged. Not sure about that but it shouldn't be as it was copied to the laptop's HDD using the computer's DVD drive which works perfectly fine... If the issue is associated with the Win32k.sys file, it might be caused by a third-party remote control program. I don't have any remote control programs! But yes, it does happen after the first restart during Windows Setup or after Setup is complete. Thanks..

Hi! I have a problem with my old laptop, a Acer Extensa 710DX (Pentium II 233MHz with MMX, 160MB Memory, and a NeoMagic MagicGraph 128XD 2 MB Video and ESS Meastro II sound. Anyway... it came with Windows 95. The CD-Drive is not working that well, it will only recognize the original Recovery CD (with Windows 95) and the software that came with it. All other CD's either fail to work or if I'm very lucky, it would actually read the disk. So after some difficulty, I managed to network Windows 95 to my XP computer using a crossover cable and as such, I copied the XP (SP3) and 2003 (R2) CD's into the laptop's hard drive. Okay, you may ask why do I want XP or 2003 on a 233MHz laptop??? Well, a few years ago, somehow I installed XP and it worked... but then someone made it really slow, sluggish and yea.. it was time for a reformat. Anyway, the main reason is that I want to use the laptop to use a wireless connection (USB) which Windows 95 does not support very well. It uses the 'system generic' drivers so I can't use Windows 2000 to configure the wireless. Only XP, 2003 has the "View Available Wireless Network" thing.. I launched the setup from the HDD using Windows 95 for Windows XP. It froze on the Setup is Installing Windows part.. Thinking that it was a bit slow I left it there for a hour.. and still.. it was still there at the same screen... Although if I turned it off and left it off overnight and attempt to start the setup the next day, it got past that without a problem.. at least till it restarted and it froze just before the XP logo started up.. Safe mode was the same, last thing I saw was mup.sys (I think). Server 2003 was nearly the same as XP but I got a STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8103DC40, 0xFC1FEB9C, 0xFC1FE898) just right after the Windows is Starting Windows part. The strange thing is that Windows 95 works flawlessly.. except that the network (from a PC Card) is a bit shaky at times and USB flash disks don't work and the wireless connection doesn't support Windows 95. I really want to keep this laptop so I can chat to people, a bit of web browsing, maybe a bit of Skyping or just finish that random word document that is due tom (nothing like video editing (like I do with my actual computer) XD...) Thanks in advance for any help... Edited to fix some typos..

Rushes to download TaskSwitch XP... LOL.. There was a function to minimize it to tray!... Thanks again XibaD!

Thanks XibaD! Exactly what I was looking for! Although, Taskswitch XP doesn't minimize windows to the taskbar, WindowSpace (which was on the same website does...)

Since it is only for installation, I'll try to see if I can fit the Windows XP setup + updates fit onto a CD without removing too much components... Then dump all the programs onto DVD2 and DVD3... Thanks Kurt_Aust... otherwise I would be wondering what I nLited wrong till the end of time..

My computer does not have a RAID setup, never tried RAID before... Anyway, since the original XP CD definitely works ('cause I am using it right now ), I will try using a CD with all my modifications and stuff the programs on a DVD 2... And, I will also try copying the original to a DVD and stuffing loads of junk in (not integrate anything... just put in random files etc..) just to see how that goes... Sigh... if I can, I do not want to replace my new DVD drive... ($57 for the 'cheapest' Lightscribe DVD burner...) and my other computers either do not have SATA support or there is not enough SATA power cable for it (I would have to buy a power supply or buy a SATA to molex connectors.

Okay.. it shouldn't be an issue with DVD on a SATA controller.. I tried burning an non-nLited version onto a DVD and it worked fine. And, I don't know what Intel drivers to remove... got confused by the weird numberings and codes.. lol.. All I know is the motherboard: GIGABYTE EP45-DS3 which has 1. North Bridge: Intel® P45 Express Chipset 2. South Bridge: Intel® ICH10

Yes, NT5INF.CA_ does exist with a size of 70.7KB I'll reburn another copy of the DVD without the Intel SATA RAID drivers and see what happens... And yes, I am using a DVD drive with SATA (on IDE on the drive)... Hm.. memory shouldn't be a problem... The new machine is like 10 days old and XP x64 (not nLited) works like a charm... And does the tool work with 4GB RAM?.. I tried this Windows Memory Tester but it cannot detect all 4GB of the RAM.. Yes, I did use the OEM folders as all my programs, drivers etc... don't fit in 1 DVD (3 DVD's... LOL) and I had to change DVD's to install them all.. "It is installing to a blank 100GB partition (E:)"... 1 640GB HDD... (C: Windows XP x64 (no SP's etc.. just used it so I can nLite a x64 DVD..., D: Random storage..., E: Blank) And, since I didn't research properly when I bought and custom made my new PC, I bought a 'cheap' Intel Core 2 Quad Processor (Q8200) which unfortunately, doesn't support VT so no x64 virtualisation...

Hi! I made a nLited version of Windows XP x64 Edition. However when I install it, there's a fatal error. An error has been encountered that prevents Setup from continuing. Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information. Press OK to view the Setup log file. The Setup log file (setuperr.log) contains... Error: The G:\AMD64\NT5INF.CAT catalog file could not be found. The error code is 8. This is a fatal error. Not enough storage is available to process this command. *** Error: The signature for Windows XP Professional Setup is invalid. The error code is 8. Not enough storage is available to process this command. *** Fatal Error: Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup log files should contain more information. *** I am dual-booting my current Windows XP x64 with this nLited installation. It is installing to a blank 100GB partition (E:) G: is the DVD drive. I made this the nLited DVD by using a modified version of this http://www.msfn.org/board/HOWTO-create-ful...VD-t105277.html So.. - I copied the XP x64 onto my HDD. - I slipstreamed SP2. - Used booogy's WMP11 slipstreamer to slipstream WMP11 + hotfixes for WMP11 - Integrated IE7 + hotfixes - Integrated 5eraph's XP Pro x64 post sp2 update pack - Tweaked installation with nLite.. Attached is my LAST SESSION.INI file. LAST_SESSION.INI

Also, a way to properly integrate fonts (do I just put in the $OEM$\$1\Fonts folder or is there a better way?) would be appreciated...

Is there a PowerMenu (http://www.abstractpath.com/powermenu/) for x64 Windows (something that can minimize programs to the system taskbar and display certain windows on top) PowerMenu does work in Windows XP x64 but only x86 programs can be minimized to tray etc... Is there a ResHacker or something that can edit system files for x64 Windows?

Hello... Is there any way to integrate my sound schemes and cursors into a Windows XP x64 installation? Yeah.. it is based on Windows Vista's sounds and cursors. Cursors: Name: Windows Aero Normal Select - aero_arrow.cur Help Select - aero_helpsel.cur Working In Background - aero_working.ani Busy - aero_busy.ani Precision Select - aero_cross.cur Text Select - aero_text.cur Handwriting - aero_pen.cur Unavailable - aero_no.cur Vertical Resize - aero_ns.cur Horizontal Resize - aero_ew.cur Diagonal Resize 1 - aero_nwse.cur Diagonal Resize 2 - aero_nesw.cur Move - aero_move.cur Alternate Select - aero_up.cur Link Select - aero_link.cur Sounds: Name: Windows Aero Windows Asterisk - aero_asterisk.wav Critical Battery Alarm - aero_critbat.wav Critical Stop - aero_critstop.wav Default Beep - aero_beep.wav Device Connect - aero_devicecon.wav Device Disconnect - aero_devdiscon.wav Device Failed to Connect - aero_devfail.wav Exclamation - aero_exclam.wav Exit Windows - aero_exitwin.wav Low Battery Alarm - aero_lowbatt.wav New Mail Notification - aero_newmail.wav Start Windows - aero_startwin.wav System Notification - aero_sysnotif.wav Windows Logoff - aero_winlogoff.wav Windows Logon - aero_winlogon.wav Windows Explorer Blocked Pop-up Window - aero_popupblock.wav Empty Recycle Bin - aero_recycle.wav Feed Discovered - aero_feeddis.wav Information Bar - aero_infobar.wav Start Navigation - aero_navstart.wav I do not want to replace the normal XP sounds and cursors, I just want to add a Sound Scheme and a Pointer Scheme. Thanks in advance...

Try using a x64 computer to integrate Windows XP x64... It wouldn't slipstream to SP2 or add/remove anything properly when I tried it with Windows XP x86/Server 2003 x86. So I ended up installing Windows XP x64 onto my new computer to make a nLited version of it and so far, it is working!

I usually integrate Windows XP in this order: - Service Pack 3 (nLite) - Windows Media Player 11 (boooggy's WMP11 addon) + hotfixes for WMP11 - Ryanvm's Update Pack for SP3 - IE7 - Updates for IE7 - Random fixes etc... It always worked for me.. Sometimes I use OnePieces IE7 Addon.. (http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1737) In that case I would do it: - Service Pack 3 (nLite) - Windows Media Player 11 (boooggy's WMP11 addon) + hotfixes for WMP11 - Ryanvm's Update Pack for SP3 - OnePieces IE7 Addon (OnePiece IE7 WinXPSP3 v2.5.1 AddOn ENU) - OnePiece Repair IE Cosmetic Problems Addon (OnePiece_Repair_IE_Cosmetic_Problems_AddOn.7z) - Random fixes etc... Hope this helps...

Yay.. I got a license for DiskKeeper (didn't know it works with x64).. just need to download the x64 version (I delete stuff I don't need and I didn't need x64 versions of programs until now..) Shark007's Shockwave installer does work... but I don't know if it installs in both the x64 and x86 Internet Explorer and Firefox. I don't even know if there is a version for x64 computers. Is there a PowerMenu (http://www.abstractpath.com/powermenu/) for x64 Windows (something that can minimize programs to the system taskbar and display certain windows on top) PowerMenu works with x86 programs but not for x64 programs. Is there a ResHacker for x64? If so, where?...

@johnhc Oh.. I thought that I didn't slipstream Windows Media Player 11 properly or something.. LOL.. Oh well about the wireless, I'll just run a virtual machine when I want to use the Internet; USB wireless adapters that actually support Windows XP x64 are quite expensive (in my country) right now. And VirtualBox does require Intel VT as well to run a 64bit guest.. oh well... time to dual-boot/triple-boot my PC.. @ darks0ul Hm... I probably should stick to the default Program Files folders so it doesn't screw up my installation And thanks for the confirmation about the iPod working with iTunes... A few more questions: - Shockwave - How do you make it completely silent? The /S switch works but a random ad advertising this toolbar shows up. - CloneCD - A prompt saying "Your Computer needs to be restarted. Reboot Now?" comes up when using the /S switch. (NSIS) - /VERYSILENT switch works but restarts computer (Inno Setup) - What is a good x64 compatible defragger?

For the Boot Screen: Don't know if it works or not.. but give it a try anyway.. (Googled it) http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/186770-b...een-change.html For the Logon Screen: There's a program called LogonStudio which could help: http://www.stardock.com/products/logonstudio/

Thanks John for the $1 in OEM folders tip.. TranceEnergy, where is the Resource Kit for 2003 x64 because I couldn't find them on Google.. Anyway, I got iTunes to work by: - Install GEAR Drivers for XP x64 - Install QT (download from website, the one in the iTunes setup didn't work) - Extracted the iTunes setup package - Installed all the iTunes components (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Devices etc..) - Use Orca to change iTunes's .msi file from NT6.0 to NT5.2 - Install iTunes I don't know if it works with iPods, iPhones etc.. though.. my brother just took my iPod for a holiday.. Confirmed.. It does work! It works with CD's and DVD's though My processor (Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz) doesn't support Intel VT which I found to my surprise when I couldn't use a 64bit guest on VMWare Workstation. Is there an alternate program that doesn't need Intel VT to run a x64 guest or do I have to resort to dual-booting and waste a DVD to test my nLited OS? I also tried using the Vista x64 drivers but it didn't work. Wonder if my other USB wireless works... Also, I just realized that the Windows Media Player Mini-player (the one that goes in your taskbar when you minimize WMP) is missing. I would really like it back, any tips how to get it back?

Hello.. I am trying to get my TP-LINK TL-WN620G USB wireless network adapter to work with Windows XP x64. It uses the Atheros AR5523 Chipset. I have tried looking in Google and found drivers for XP 32bit, Vista 32bit and Vista 64bit but no XP 64bit. I have also tried looking in here.. http://www.atheros.cz/ but no drivers matching Windows XP 64bit can be found. Any help in making it work with my system would be appreciated. I have tried using the Windows Vista 64bit drivers but it didn't work.

Hello again, Thanks John for the link to Kurt's thread which TranceEnergy mentioned... Thanks to TranceEnergy for the clarification and for reminding me that there's two Program Files folder in XP x64.. I have installed Windows XP 64bit onto my new system and updated it to SP2, IE7, .NET 3.5 and WMP11 for the moment... so I can use nLite to slipstream SP2, IE7 etc.. onto the Windows XP x64 Setup Files... I use the already installed Windows XP to test all the programs before adding it into the nLited CD... So far I have encountered three problems: 1. TP-Link TL-WN620G Wireless Network driver - there's no driver (or I can't find any) that works with Windows XP 64bit.. Surprisingly, it supports Windows Vista 64bit but says nothing about XP x64.. 2. iTunes 8 - it says on the 32bit version of the installer that it is recommended to install a 64bit version of iTunes. The only one I found on the iTunes website is the 64bit version for Vista. I need it for my iPod and I do like the cover flow feature of iTunes.. 3. Two Program Files - I usually put some programs that don't require installing into the Program Files folder. Usually I do this by putting it in the $OEM$\$Progs folder. There's two Program Files and I don't know if it will work or not... $Progs should refer to the Program Files x86 but what about the Program Files x64..

Thanks TranceEnergy... "you could slipstream x64 in 32bit os, but not always, its a pain to explain, its been done before on forum however. Easy answer, NO, advanced yes." I managed to get Windows XP 64bit slipstreamed with Service Pack 2 thanks to a friend that had Vista x64.... If I want to add addons/update packs like 5eraph's post-SP2 Update Pack v2008-11_2 (http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6400) do I need to use a 64bit OS as well?
