Some of the services should be left in automatic mode. DHCP, dnscashe etc. This are tcpip services. If you want a possible explaination of services then check out http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm .

Opera bookmarks are not compatible with I.E. Why I do not use Opera. Saw a mention at their forum on this. A reply was why should Opera fix it, I.E. should change to import Opera bookmarks? I think it is a feature packed browser, but I will not use it if it will not blend with it's environment. You may need to manually copy each favorite site over. Maxthon is a better browser!

Thanks jcarle, XPreview works fine here.

My winntbb.dll works fine during xp setup. Untouched sp2 winntbb.dll has strings 1,2,3,4,5,13,14,19,20,21,22,26,27 & 63. No string 28?

Do you mean dots on Setup screen? If so, I use Resource Hacker. Only Bitmaps are supported.

I removed the text from file. 26, "Some text" turn it into 26, "" then compiled and all "" and string numbers removed automatically. Only 2 string numbers give the error? 27 & 28. String 28 does not exist in original?

Are you using any registry tweaks that may cause this effect?

Cannot see problem with sif. Can you right-click on taskbar. Choose properties, Startmenu tab, customize and see if your browser is in Show on menu?

I can patch a file before installing or I can patch a file after installing.

You are altering the msi file. Is that not after?

A patch alters files as this process does. Slipstream just inserts new files. do you agree. .msp is a Microsoft Patch file.

This is patch process? You are patching the msi file and any files associated with it?

Can you show your winnt.sif, please.

/I386 /$OEM$/$1/$drivers/NIC yes, like this.

I agree. Look under system32 directory. Inspect $oem$.inf file for what setup saw of your winnt.sif. See if AutomaticUpdates= ? in there.

Even if you have no winnt.sif, cmdlines.txt will still be processed. $oem$ must be in the same directory as i386 directory?

t-39 is straight after textmode and the start of gui setup. *.bat is a bat file. Call it from winnt.sif. Fixes driver signing problems? Ok?

@Bâshrat the Sneaky Thanks for the distinction. I'll take note. @CrashUK Glad you worked it out.

Sorry, your right. the timeout I did not see. Yes, batch langauge is limited. Please forgive me.

You may have to use the make directory command and then use copy or xcopy commands to complete you task.

Do you mean like NTFS? is good.

That should be the 2nd screen after deleting the partition.

True, if it is unpartitioned, then you would select setup xp first. and it would do it for you.

if you put it in the host file or internet restrictions. It will.
