VulturEMaN Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Just made myself a pretty darn zippy version of nlite.Everything works amazing so far, minus a few exceptions, like Advanced WindowsCare 2 Professional...takes like 5-10 minutes to start (i'd love to guess its the IE removal). Also, I don't remember seeing that netbios over tcp was a required system driver for network printer support, so my networked printer didn't work for a few days. Neither are my main concern at the moment.I like to see my Device Manager with no errors in it, but apparently the Serial driver under "non-plug and play drivers" isn't working at all.Any ideas on what I shouldn't be removing from XP to keep it working? I like my serial ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranceEnergy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Do you have serial port enabled in bios? Serial port driver is attempted installed regardless if found inactive or not present.I disable it from bios and uninstall it after windows is installed.

GrofLuigi Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I see this often on computers with serial port not present or otherwise disabled. Just set this to cure the question mark in device manager:REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial]"Start"=dword:3GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
