Hi Johnhc, The funny thing is I ran nlite again today and nlite didn't show up in the "directories to remove" this time, but it all went through to the finish okay, so I'm happy. Thanks

Hi Johnhc Re: missing nhelper Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciated you taking an interest I've now fixed my problem and here's what I did. When I was working through nLite removing stuff, at the last section, Directories, I had originally ticked all the boxes and that's where I went wrong and kept getting the “nhelper missing” error as one of the directories was nLite itself, so obviously if I removed that (which contains the file nhelper) the program would strip it all out and then look for it at the end and not find it, simple or what. Yes I agree, I am thick, but there has been a lot of discussion on this topic, so I'm not the only thicky. As for starting with a new copy each time, there's no need as you can reload your last session at the beginning at the third screen (presets) just tick the box bottom left and this saves you hours of wading through the whole thing again, but I guess you knew that but others may have missed it. (I agree, it is good housekeeping to start with clean stuff) I looked at the posts you suggested and about the SFC, I tried it enabled and disabled and nLite worked okay each time. Thanks again, tictoc

geb. Re: nlite, I too am computer illiterate but found a very helpful site at (i64x.com nlite install)it gave the whole process step by step with screen pictures on what boxes to tick (the program explains most of these and what not delete) I printed out all 27 pages and went through it step by step and found it quite straight forward, although I only got as far as page 18. After filling in all the boxes I pressed the process now button and it got as far processing setup files and came up with, "missing nhelper.ex_in nlites folder" message. When I started the nlite program and directed it to my XP files using the browse button, I looked in the XP folder and found the nlite program, opened it and found the nhelper and vhelper files in there so I know they weren't missing at that stage. So I hope someone else knows how to fix it, as I've trawled this site and tried downloading nhelper from the net and putting it in folder i386 and system 32 without any luck.
