That's useful.

A lot of updates need Terminal Services which is removed if you remove Remote Desktop and Assistance. This will cause the update reboot loop.

sorry the INI got formated otherwise i would post it.

Integrated my drivers so i removed all drivers...

windows experience index does not complete its assessment due to driver/component error.

Please just tell me what components are required to get this to work correctly.

Is this a slipstreamed sp1 dvd you're using? If it's trying to install KB938371, download it and install it manually before you install any other updates . IIRC, that is likely the cause of the update loop, although a missing terminal services can cause problems with other updates. Make sure terminal Services is enabled, if it's there. If it's not, keep Remote Desktop and Assistance the next time you vlite.

That particular update has been troublesome for many people, so you may have to do some more fiddling to get it installed. Search for KB938371 loop for more info.

Leave your services at default until you get it installed, then disable them using one of the various Vista service guides on the net. Don't bother removing stuff that only takes a few MB of space. It's not worth the potential headaches . Just delete the big stuff like languages, natural language, speech, media samples, etc. Hardly any of this is going to help your gaming anyway. Just make sure all unnecessary services are turned off and a default install will perform just as well.

my disk is SP1 integrated

tried to install KB938371

does not apply to my system.

Would it by chance be an AMD system?
