OOBE annoyance gone.. but...
Hello everybody! I managed to kick every other OOBE step off, except the User creation. However, that assistant that says "I can help you blahblah.." is STILL annoying. How can it be removed? nLite can do that someway I believe...

XP: to use or not to use
Guys, forget XP... Install 3.1 NT, far more stable (no programs to run, unless it crashes with minesweeper ) and secure (as it has no support for proper net cards..)

How mean are you?
That's REALLY IRRITATING! Often they call me and say: "Hello! How are you? My modem doesn't work, what can I do??????" or "Do I have to buy a new PC to remove spyware??" And much sillier things, as well as normal problems which I can't understand, especially with their English accent, reading the error messages

EarthQuake & tsunamis
Wow, that was amazing.. (in a bad way) An earthquake reaching the number 9. Wow. We are still missing 27 Greek people here who haven't showed a sign of life. I think we should all do something to help those people over there, who, practically or theoritically lost their lives (are dead or with no possesions).

Windows NT 3.51 WS Bootable CD
Hello everybody, I fetched a copy of this ancient piece of OS, and JUST discovered it is NOT BOOTABLE! This is driving me real mad, as I tested pasting all floppies in I386 and using weird boot sectors from floppies and Win 2000, but NOTHING WORKS! Most times I get a page fault Anybody done this before, or someone with a really good idea? PS: this might be considered off-topic as it is an older NT version. hey you, almost deleting or closing this topic, can you remember that the same happens with NT 4?

New WinPE Windows XP Deployment question(s).
Too bad, I was in a great mood when I found out how to start the installation from WinPE. I actually thought that something crashed and the installation window closed. But after reading this topic I finally understood there must be no way to avoid the "blue screen of installation" (not "of death" ). Is there really a way to avoid the holy reboot in "doslike" mode and get the installation done in GUI, except of rewriting and redesigning the installation yourself?

Freaking Windows XP First-time wizard
Ok, there is no need to threat me, I know the board rules and I intend to follow them. I'm talking about the wizard that appears after the installation, on the first boot. The getting started wizard which allows a registration with Microsoft, creation of users and activation (non-corp versions). Am I clear now?

Freaking Windows XP First-time wizard
Does anybody know where this is located? (exe/dll) I am willing to resource hack this, it's not the best feature of the installation...

Good evening
Hello everybody, My nickname is Despal and I'm from Greece. I was recently introduced to the idea of the unattended XP CD and I really adored the idea of making my own XP edition with what I want and the way I want it. I joined this forum to be a part of the conversation so I can ask questions or even answer some, as well as being informed.
