Some suggestions, and some more questions. First, the suggestions: On the Options screen, General tab, under Languages, perhaps change the options from "enabled" & "disabled" to "keep" & "remove", but specifically, "Clean MUI Languages support entries" - to me, this would read better as the following: "Remove MUI Languages support entries" The same situation applies for "Press Any Key boot message". It reads better (to me) to state "Remove Press Any Key boot message" so a person would know that enabling this option would remove that message, disabling this option would keep it there (or again, change the option to "keep" & "remove") Under Requirements, "HDD free space requirement" would read better (to me) as the following "Remove HDD free space requirement message". "Minimum memory requirement" also would read better as the following: "Remove minimum memory requirement message" Moving to the Options screen, PATCHES tab: Under "Unsigned Themes Support (Uxtheme Patch)", lay out what "enable" and "disable" actually accomplish in the description. As an aexample, the description would read better as "To use any MS Visual Style downloaded from the net (including unsigned themes), enable this. Disabling this may cause problems with certain downloaded MS Visual Styles, whether signed or not. Right now, using "enable" in the description is redundant - but ONLY if I'm reading it correctly, and not as descriptive as it could be. SFC (Windows File Protection) DEFINITELY has problems with people not understanding it. A search for this turned up several confused folks and not understanding why it is (or isn't) working on their setup. Removing the double negative caused by the description should clear this up, IMO. It would read easier (to me) if it were something more like this: "Enable this option to ________ SFC during and after your installation. Disable this option to _______ SFC during and after your installation. If this option is enabled/disabled, Windows will automatically recover a replaced or deleted system file or folder." I state that these read better (to me) because I've noticed that the options that are clear use terms that are specific in their usage. For instance, "Remove duplicate files", "Keep code pages of removed languages", "Save a copy of your current config" all read as if enabling or disabling these options definitely enact the desired changes. Just a consistency point, but something that seems like it'd clear up slight confusions. Now for the question: SFC (Windows File Protection) is confusing due to the double negative in the description. Does enabling this option disable SFC during installation? I need SFC to be turned off during installation, so I need to know the proper choice for this option. In the suggestion above for SFC, you'll notice the blanks and the red text - whichever option belongs in the proper area, I have no idea, that's why they're missing (or both added, since I'm not sure which is correct)

Not saying they're stupid (and can't rightly tell if you're goofing on me ), just that after sorting through so much info, it's hard to process them in the way that they are written. I know English isn't everyone's native language either (although it is my native tongue), so perhaps that may also have something to do with how it reads. I know the Patch menu's are also just as confusing after reading the SFC instructions and whatnot. I'm wondering if these items are written the way they are so they translate better for ALL languages, not just English?

I'm probably having major brain farts, but looking at these options, there's WAY too many double-negatives or just flat out items that I'm just not sure which way I should go to enable or disable the option in the fashion I want. "Clean MUI Languages support entries". Does "enabled" remove them? "Press Any Key boot message" Does "enabled" make the message continue to show when the disc is in the drive? "HDD free space requirement" Does "enabled" allow installation on hard drives with less space than the required free space? Same question on the max memory option. Under "Setup look", the black option references the classic setup. Does that negate the classic option, or what exactly is going on there? Sorry if I'm sounding snotty, I've just been trying to research everything I've been considering removing as I go along, and I'm just up against a wall in trying to figure these items out. Like I said, prolly just a case of the brain farts, but the phrasing of these items are super confusing to me right now. Any help at all is greatly appreciated
