Yes, I did a winnt32 installation, but the errors was the same using winnt32.exe under BartPE and winnt.exe before using aiteru's method(NO IE, NO WMP, NO CALC and some others stuff that I didn't checked. G'day, Just a note of encouragement. I am impatiently waiting for a winnt32.exe fix for nlite 1.4.5 having used an enlighted version of WinXPSP2 for many months now. I wouldn't want to miss the SP3 version of it. My personal complaint is that an added user does not automatically log on but generates an error message during autologon. But I am sure that past that point there are other problems. So pls pls let me know how it's going. I have spend the best part of a weekend on this so far and can't do it by myself. I don't have any useful tips as yet. Just following the discussion... cheers
