Please nrever spread bad or incorrect information... nLite does a better job at everything than MS could ever even imagine doing. Don't hate. In fact, the slipstream method MS recommends isn't even used for making a CD (since, obviously, MS never wants people to burn a Windows CD), it's used to "update" an "installation share". nLite does a better job at actually making it a CD. edit: That KB article you linked ISN'T EVEN RELATED to the post you wrote... but it's probably the solution to this problem... could you at least have said that instead of dissing nLite? OK, so to update this even more, I just looked on the nLite website, and as long as you are using at least v.1.4.5 you should be OK, as nLite claims the problem was fixed. Note that it says that if your using Vista as your host and your using an RTM version (aka "gold"/aka no service packs), you must slipstream SP2 first before slipstreaming SP3. If you've done all that and still have issues, you may want to check the nLite forum, or try to make the CD using an XP host. Well with 20 years experience in this field and a computer programmer at degree level. I have integrated SP3 into all XP discs with command line switches

Please nrever use any other software because this makes a mess during installation of xp. Even MS confirmed this. Use integrated switches to slipstream SP3. Here it is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950722

This is false. As a programmer, The code behind the file can be changed and allow the user to copy CD2 contents into CD1 Futhermore CD 1 uses XP Pro Service Pack 2 to install onto the Hard Drive You have got a max of 1.7GB of network connectivity to download updates and enhancements for MC2005

Here is the direct Download link from MS server Click Here

If you bought the computer from a shop or on-line from a respectable company then you can install MS Vista service pack 1 on top of orginal operatiing system, without any problems at all. Only because they use there their key to install it and it activate it. In response to nuhi comment you have to go through MS activation procedure before updating your system

SP3 for XP will arrive in Jan 2008 http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=54

Check the monitor with another computer. If this works great . Then we know it could be the VGA card chip on the motherboard that has died on you. Not giving any output to the screen.
