well yeah i did, call the police immediately!!! the reason i downloaded a DVD iso was to see if my created CD was faulty, and i guess it wasnt seeing as this other created version does exactly the same thing. I dont even remeber what nLite looks like lol, is there something in there about network drivers? I was also thinking if next time, the pop up box comes up, if i chose custom and installed no network protocols???? That might work, but I cant be bothered to try it yet as i was up all night lastnight getting this instal back to a useable state. And also i dont remeber wethr that box came up or not, most probably not, seeing as its unattended. Please explain youre solution a bit more, im a bit of a noob see >.< thanks for the help weez
