Acheron, of course I did, and the serial is fine, and it worked in the beginning. Then I rebuilt my xpsp3 image. This time I replaced some IE6 related files. These files were falsely downgraded from sp3 by the IE7 slipstream process in hfslip. Namely these were BROWSEUI.DLL, html.iec, ieencode.dll, JSCRIPT.DLL, SHDOCVW.DLL, SHLWAPI.DLL, vbscript.dll. So maybe some of this new sp3 files treat me bad. Otherwise there was no big change to the image (at least I think so). For now I'll go back to v7.10-lite which works just fine. But if you want me to try out something... Anyways thanks a lot for your great work!
