Black screen on boot

[Marty P]

I use nlite to make test .iso's. xp with sp1a and some programs worked fine. The last time i made some adjustments the new iso wouldn't boot. In vmware and virtual pc i get a black screen. the hardware screen wo'n't pop-up. Is it possible it has something to do with the UXTHEME.DL_ wich i downloaded?

when do you get a black screen? i am sure it is not a problem of uxtheme.dl_

why do u use vmware AND viritualpc? dont them conflict with each other? you known you first have to fill in the iso at the startup to let vmware known where the iso are on the HDD? i believe viritualpc cant this. or do u use CD/DVD?

try to create a new profile in vmware and delete the old one. try also to delete viritualpc because vmware is far the best.....

Sometimes it's best to have both installed.

QNX doesn't work under VMware, but does in VPC, and there have been other occasions that the reverse is true.

Just depends on how things go.

As for the black screen on boot, have you looked for logfiles on the disk?

i dont know what QNX is, but i am sure i and marty p dont use that

Very strange. I've deleted the themes dir and recreated the ISO. Now it runs just fine

Thanks for thinking with me
