driverpacks.net is your friend....

nlite is reliable ONLY with a 'pure' unmodified source of XP.

without posting your nlite .ini file you have zero chance of anyone being able to help you.......

Do you have an HP machine with an AMD processor?

sigh: in this order - ALWAYS start with a stock, virgin, never modified XP SP2 source - integrate WMP11 using Booggys tools - integrate addons, patches, tweaks, etc using nlite - integrate driverpacks using their base tool (if you have the need to add drivers) - create iso - test in a correctly configured VM - repeat as necessary You never, EVER want to modify an already modified XP source to change things or to attempt a fix for something you may have messed up. START OVER. ALWAYS start fresh and use a minimum of tools, in the correct order, to get the job done.

There has to be something else wrong with your install. I integrate every driverpack available on top of 42 addons and my VB install takes 20 minutes or less. How much memory are you giving to the virtualbox VM? 256 Mb would be the min, 384 Mb better.

2.0b4 is available....

are you applying SP3 to a 'virgin' RTM (no nlite, driverpacks, etc) distro or????

I believe that we all do know that. New users can find this info and other hints by lurking for a while AND using the search button.

Neo, thank you! That did the trick!

Does anyone have a .reg that will repair all of the default entries for the stock notepad.exe? I'm trying to hack a damaged system back to stock behavor and this is the last thing I need. Don't want or need any pointers to notepad2 or notepad++.

Don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out then......

What are the chances for getting support for the clean installation of MediaCenter and TabletPC pulled into nlite?

Or you can do for yourself what you are asking other to do; experiment with XP removals until you get to the minimum functionality that is specific to your needs. Seriously, everyones 'needs' are different and it's a bit much what you are asking for.

why not just run win2k with the win95/XP gui? As I recall, the GUI (shell) was released on it's own as a beta for win2k sometime in 1995/1996.

Are these available anywhere (download) other than on my XP Tablet PC disk?

as opposed to being a post whore and replying to every thread on the board? A 32 bit windows OS will not address more than 4 Gb of ram, but the practical limit is closer to 3.5 Gb **yawn**

*yawn* Have it your way. The Windows VMM doesn't work in shades of grey.

Photoshop will ONLY use its scratch file as an auxillary paging space if YOU set the system paging space too small. As Photoshop is RAM humgry, even with 4Gb systems (system commit can be many multiples of real memory) having a system paging file BIG enough (as per Adobes recommendation, not your belief in how the Windows VMM works) is ESSENTIAL. Otherwise, the scratch file is used as a clipboard/image working space ONLY. Also, if you are using the Bigger Tiles plugins, real ram usage goes way up, thusly system page space usage goes way up as well. So if YOU deliberately set your system page space too small, YOU have caused Photoshop to page unnecessarilly to the PS/CS scratch file. And if PS has to use scratch space as paging space, it will also try to grow the scratch file to accomodate the new requirement. This, in conjunction with an overloaded page space, really kills hard drive performance as you now have a constant 4- or 5-way hit (program code, image data, page space, scratch spacex2) hit on a hard drive. Not too smart. It helps to actually know of what you speak.....

Nuhi, it might be a good idea to enable a 'warning' when a user selects the symbolic debugger for removal. I've found at least 3 HP and 4 Canon printer drivers that require both the symbol debug library/dll *and* dump functionality to be available. The dumps can be turned off, but the functionality has to be there along with the debugger .dll file.

Search button works wonders......

Yes, disabling a service leaves all the files on your system. Unless you are SURE (100%!) that you will NEVER need a specific service, disable it, DON'T delete it. The hassles of trying to manuall reinstall a previously deleted service are considerable.

JM, why not disable the services vi an nlite customization to see what happens.

what would you suggest?

not without your posting your .ini file here we can't.......
