  1. This is always been the normal way of installing Windows XP. You have ONE account that is named "Administrator" and one that's created during "Out Of the Box Experience". That one is part of the Administrators group but is not a "2nd Administrator account". You always have two accounts from start unless you "skip OOBE". You can even remove OOBE in the case your XP is preactivated or if no activation is required. So what is the actual problem ? Do you get a Welcome Screen with 2 users ?
  2. How was it modified ? +Before or after install ?
  3. in Windows Explorer, for every other user than the one currently logged, it's displayed as "full name's documents". I don't know if it can be disabled, I don't find anything in Vew or Options menus.
  4. To be sure the problem comes from the SP integration. Have you tried nLite without SP (still with other modifications) ?
  5. The answer is no. Upgrade comes with that little annoyance. That's why it's cheaper.
  6. The exact message would be more helpfull. Are you sure the SP is the good language ?
  7. Is one computer AMD and the other one Intel based ? ( I'm not knowledgeable enough to know wether your info confirm that or not but I know it wouldn't work)
  8. WMA are NOT "audio CD" files. They are compressed and roughly the same size as MP3 files so you can put typically more than 100 wma or MP3 on a 700MB CD. That CD will be a DATA cd and can be read by computers or newer "cd player" that state "WMA" or "MP3". Devices that can only read AUDIO cd will only accept wav files and at a given sampling frequency. Those can only contain ~20 files (an equivalent of 80 minutes for a 700MB cd) => DATA CD: 700MB => AUDIO CD: 80min. Before burning, you choose audio or data cd mode. You can indeed burn WMA or MP3 files to an audio cd but the program will (transparently) convert them for you and they won't appear as wma/mp3 on the resulting cd.
  9. Either you entered a password for that account or it was on the disk you used to create your install disk. If 1st case, try to check your "last session_u.ini" in C:\Program files\nLite\presets". If 2nd case, you should know where that cd comes from and find out. Have you tried ... no password ?

    Saving Presets

    It rewrites a new file. "Last session" is ONLY last session. If you remove component A from a fresh source then re-nLite it this time not removing component A (cause it's not there, obviously it can't be removed again), your ini file will be such that using it on a fresh source, component A will NOT be removed. Surprise. For some components, it is easy to manually correct this using successive ini files ("append", like you suggest) for others, it is more complicated.
  11. It's one of the first line in the "General" tab of the Options screen. You can't miss it.
  12. Yeah, that's totally not asterix password recovery. The OP wants to type some command or input in a DOS box without it appearing readable on the screen. What OS we don't know. Probably XP.
  13. Your floppy has probably shifted to "B:" so if you launch by command line it has to be corrected. Err...you have a Ghost image on a floppy ? For partitions, the first one can only begin at "head 1", hence the "unused space" after MBR.
  14. if you buy that old technology from a shop, surely, even more if you go for the highest capacity in that special slot, but I you can probably find some 256MB on eBay for very little money. No risk on that.
  15. How "new" is the new computer ? (a year or MHz would be a good indication)
  16. And should you need it later, there is a copy of it on your hard drive (Program Files\nLite\Presets\).
  17. From what I understood, the first link you provide is a rip off the work done by some members here. Search for the "Install XP from USB" sub forum. And yes, nLite allows "text mode" drivers integration.
  18. Use part.exe or part244.exe from this page. Tiny, powerfull, precise, quick. It cannot format NTFS but it's not a problem if you reapply Ghost images. +I don't think this thread has anything to do with Windows XP (?)
  19. If that's your only problem, what about BartPE ?
  20. Until you start the actual nliting process (and the file "last session.ini" gets written), there is no way to save what you've selected or not up to any point. The downside is of course that your set of file gets modified in the process. So there is no point starting nLite in the prospect of doing half the job and coming back to it later. If that was your question.

    playing dvd

    Install VLC or MediaPlayerClassic, I think they both come with codecs to read DVD movies. Also MPC is "portable" (means it doesn't need any installation, just copy the files and run it) and VLC has a portable version a well.
  22. Both in the root of the working directory and in \Program Files\nLite\Presets ?
  23. It's not that bad. What those people have to get that far is either -spent lots of time tweaking/trying/experiencing on their install files -have much more knowledge/experience allowing them to know what they can remove -a very small but broken install for which they ask for help every now and then or reinstall every week. For those files you are talking about, it is quite straight foward, in the "Components" section, tick the list of languages and keyboards you want to remove. For the rest, as a rule of safety, unless you are installing on a HDD that is less than 8Gig, do not remove things that you are not sure you will never need.
  24. ?How far have you got ? Installed the program yet ? Read anything about it ? Any tutorial ?
  25. ? You mean it doesn't boot "Windows" but it does boot.
