My unattended winxp home install will not go to restore or recovery consel after booting the unattended disk. How can I correct that. I noticed that there is no WINNT.SIF file in the non attended versions. JM

There is no restore or recovery consel in my home disk installs with nLite 1.4.5 using sp3. How can I bring that back? Jim

First off I have WinXP Home. I don't have a APM button under "screen saver" section. I do have an Advance section and a power button selection. ??? Jim

I did a Nlite install with sp3 in winXP and when I indicated shutdown the computer would not turn off automatically like usual but there was a sign saying I need to turn off the computer. How do I correct this so that it will automatically turn off. I did not change any of the tweaks. Jim

Thanks for the answer, I knew you guys could do it. God Bless, Jim

I need to hide the product key during installation. I have Windows XP Home. Do I use hid or fully automated. Please answer this question. Or give me another alternative. Jim-- Fully frustrated!!

I looks like that if you leave the tweaks alone that you change everything from the default that you usually install. Is that true that tweaking will make it more default? Or is it if you leave it alone default will result? Please answer. Surely you know the answer!!!! I have windows XP Home. Jim Fully Frustrated!

I asked where is the guide to nLite. You claim it is not continuing to be updated but where is the older guide????? I also ask you why my install asked for the Product Key. My Product Key works, but I have to add it each time I install with either sp2 or sp3. What I am talking about is that the product key is susposed to be unattended. That means I don't have to add it when I install. Do you understand? Jim

I am using windows XP not Vista. Don't like Vista. Microsoft is developing a Vista replacement called Windows 7!!

nuhi please explain what you mean. I used the same key in sp2 as I did in sp3 but I still had to reenter it during installation. Does anyone else know why it won't work. I used regular slipstreaming as well as nLite and made two different installs, one with slipstreaming and the other with nLite. Jim

I slipstreamed and NLited windows XP sp3 5512 version (both ways). I though that the install was not susposed to ask for the product key. But it did for the Product Key. What did I do wrong? Jim

I mean the nLite guide. Jim I need to know how to make all the tweaks default(as Windows XP is normally configured).

Where is the nLite guide? Jim

Where is the guide? Jim

The final(RTM) version of XP sp3 is susposed to come out tomorrow. I want to know which version of nLite to use and how can I make everything default(the way windows XP is normally) except that I do want to include my product key. There is one page that ask all kinds of questions for changes in Windows. I guess you call it the tweak page. If I leave the tweak page alone will that default everything? That is like you normally install windows. Is the v1.4.5 beta 2 version "safe to use" with this final version of sp3 or is it still experimental. Jim I made some editing note above. I need to know if I leave the tweak page alone will it be like Windows XP default?

I found the answer to the first question. Use $NtServicePackUninstall$ file in the Windows folder. But I do need an answer to the second question: Is there a way to keep all changes to default in iLite(1.4.5)? I am not sure about making those changes because I don't know what they will look like. I am paticularly talking about the screen where you can change such things as icon size, making the background black, disabling certain things such as sound, autoplay etc. God bless, Jim

How do you uninstall a service pack 3 that was installed by nLite? Also is there a way to keep all changes to default in iLite(1.4.5)? I am not sure about making those changes because I don't know what they will look like. I am paticularly talking about the screen where you can change such things as icon size, making the background black, disabling certain things such as sound, autoplay etc. God bless, Jim

Well, if there is an official release I would assume its ok to post: [url="http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3061999&SiteID=17" ] This winxp sp3 RC2 was released March 6 and now is available on update. This is not RC3! Jim Sorry the original post shortened the web site and was no good. This should be ok now!!

Can anyone suggest a good web site? Thanks for the clarificaton. But the problem was that the only website I could find were torrent websites and the size was over 550 MB and they took a long time to download and they were slow downloaders. I know nothing about bittorrent and I don't want to use it anymore. One website said Pro on it and I didn't use it but the other said nothing about Pro just XPSP3RTM. I just deleted that one now. I will continue to look but I spent about 2 days looking and almost 2 days downloading. I had no problem finding RC 2. Jim

I have WinXP Home. SP3 build 5503 was downloaded as a Windows Xp pro disk. How do you extract Sp3 to include in nLite 1.4.5 beta 2? When you build nLite 1.4.5 Beta 2 they ask for the sp3 only not the whole pro disk. I can't install Windows pro on my hard drive. Is there a way around this. I am a newbie and maybe I am not understanding something here. Jim

Does anyone know how to permanently download XP update files on my Windows xp Home hard drive. I am an administrator and have a password and have followed the instructions given by Microsoft on my Windows xp Home software, but it does not work. I have tried several time and it does not work. Jim

How can I fix IE 7 Beta 2? It is worse than Beta 2 preview. I use Windows XP Home SP2. It hangs and I can not click onto it from a link.

I installed IE 7 Beta 2 today and found it more of a problem than the beta Preview . For starters on IE Beta 2 I could not click a link from either a website or from Outlook Express email and could not open the link. But this funtion worked perfectly with Beta 2 preview. Also IE Beta 2 hung on me several times and would not completly open. So I went back to the Beta 2 preview and am fairly satisfied with it except it only shows the history of one day and no other day histories. Thank you Jim McDonald
