For OS and service packs I go with RTM only. I really dont like beta testing that stuff. For drivers I use stable release, except for NVIDIA GeForce drivers. Those I generally use betas. For applications, its a mixed bag. For example I only use Firefox releases but I have no problem with Ad Muncher betas or the latest SMPlayer builds.

May someone please provide a definitive answer for us? IE7 first or SP3 first?

He means search this forum. You can also search at RyanVM.net forum or WinCert.net forum.

My personal favorite HOSTS file is this one.

Anyone have an idea? I forgot about this issue until now that I reinstalled Vista.

Look here to download SP2

Ive reseated the components several times and I did try the old cooler with no change in behavior

The new heatsink is firmly attached and yes I used the thermal paste that came with the heatsink.

My computer: Thermaltake 430W PSU Chaintech 7NIF2 Athlon XP 2400 2 x 256 pc2100 80GB Western Digital ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Situation: I just replaced the chipset cooler with a Zalman NB47J and when I assembled the computer back together, I just got a 4 second beep that repeats and the monitor was blank. No BIOS screen or anything. Heres what Ive tried so far: *I thought it was because of a misconfiguration of the front panel connectors, so I looked up the manual and put the cables as they should be. I tried various configurations with no luck. *I tried clearing the CMOS and also taking out the battery. *I disconnected/removed any cards or disks, just leaving the motherboard, fans, and memory. *I tried booting with each ram stick individually and also put them in opposite slots. *I connected the monitor to the integrated graphics instead of my ATI card. My dad thinks its possibly fault of the Zalman heatsink. Should I try putting back the previous cooler? Any other suggestions? P.S. I dont think the PSU is at fault. Its fairly new and should provide enough power.

You could try using a non-AV program for protection like System Safety Monitor (free edition).

You have to download SP3. The file is called WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe

Until vLite lets you add program addons, I suggest you take a look at Windows Post-Install Wizard (WPI). Its worked well for me.

My choices: A, B, F

BTW klerg, cluberti said Process Monitor not Process Explorer.

Ok thanks. For the next version do you think WPI can automatically use the %wpipath% variable?

Under Options > Tools can I use the %wpipath% variable when locating a program for Execute before/after?

Can support for Tarma QuickInstall be added?

Wouldnt the "/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /SP-" switch work?

Use the second link in the post above yours

If s/he's looking for a DSL modem in PCMCIA form, I have yet to see one. If s/he's just looking for an ethernet adapter in PCMCIA form, theres plenty of them (such as D-Link's DFE-690TXD or DGE-660TD).

As damian666 has said. If you dont like vLite, dont use it. Simple as that. We dont tell you to not use Software Y (because its a waste of time), so dont tell us to not use vLite.

Hey Kel, isnt the changelog in the WPI manual in need of updating? Anyways thanks for the new version

@ronmanp - you can also just disable the services Anyways heres two similar threads (to what the OP is asking): Increase performance with nlite Technical reasons for nLite improving performance?

nLite does not support direct integration of DirectX. You can use addons such as this though.
