i've been trying to figure this out too. i lost wireless functionality in sp3. even i sp2, turning off some services and immediately turning them back on can screw up wireless functionality.

nlite is a cool app but i too think it could use some work. the first problem i see for new users of nlite is that it modifies the the source I386 folder. it should automatically make a copy of this folder and modify the copy, so the user doesn't have to worry about losing their clean source files. my first time around i didn't know that nlite modified the source. i assumed it would make a copy. even after knowing this, i've forgotten to make a copy of the source after not using nlite for a while. when burning an image to cd, it looks like nlite uses the built in imapi in windows. what if the user is working from an os that has imapi removed? nlite carries on like it's burning the disc even though it isn't doing anything. nlite even says, 'success' at the end. the user should be notified that the native cd burning is missing, if it is missing. seeing that a clean source needs to be used for each new session, nlite should warn the user when attempting to use a a previously used source. couldn't nlite detect the presence of previous sessions to warn the user? maybe it's just me but none of my nlite sessions in which i integrated all system drivers have worked right. something always ends up not right. that's fine. i usually manually install drivers just to be safe. all of my unattended installs have been interrupted by one thing or another. i'd like to see this feature more id*** proof. yes, i probably am an id***. i also seem to have random issues with some of my settings not being integrated into the final iso. i should have kept a record of these so they could be mentioned here. i'll try to make a point of doing that in the future. i also think that naming a session in the beginning would be a better way to go about it. it would ensure that it gets done. maybe nlite could prompt the user for the session name before starting a new session? i think nlite is a great app and i don't mean to complain. i'm only mentioning these things because i would like to see nlite become as user friendly as it can be.

woo, hoo. i got a working xp install iso from the files that were already on my hard drive. a big thumbs up for nlite. shed the mce, the preinstalled software, etc., just using nlite and files from my mce install.

my laptop is running mce 2005 and i've disabled the mce components for daw purposes. in case some of you don't know, xp mce has some issues with audio recording interfaces. my audio interface was useless until i disabled the mce components (works fine now). i would like to create a bootable xp install cd and leave out the mce components. i have used nlite with xp pro and home oem disks but never with mce and never with recovery disks. my laptop is a hp dv6000 series. any help with this would be very appreciated. some reasons why i want a bootable disk: reinstalling xp with the recovery disks (2 dvds) is very time consuming and a lot of junk software is installed in the process. i would like to try creating a nlited disk to optimize system resources.
