August 24, 200422 yr Ever since slipstreaming SP2, my video drivers aren't installing, and I'm left with the default Windows ones.First of all, I know that the driver is good, and that the path is right, because it installed before. If I try to update the driver from the Device Manager, I get the following warning:If I click past it, the driver installs fine. So I'm assuming that this is why it's not working via my winnt.sif. Am I missing something in there, or is there something else I need to do? winnt.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes" AutomaticUpdates="yes"[Unattended] UnattendSwitch="yes" UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes TargetPath=\WINNT Hibernation=no FileSystem=ConvertNTFS ExtendOEMPartition=1 DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore OEMPnPDriversPath="WINNT\Drivers\GX270\1Chipset\INF;WINNT\Drivers\GX270\2Network\Pro1000\WinXP;WINNT\Drivers\GX270\3Video\GeFor64;WINNT\Drivers\GX270\4Audio\ADI198x\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP;WINNT\Drivers\GX270\5Monitor\1901FP"[WindowsFirewall] Profiles=WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall] Mode=0[IEPopupBlocker] AllowedSites=www.ebay.com[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=XXXXX EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon=Yes AutoLogonCount=1 OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=35 OemSkipWelcome=1[UserData] ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX FullName=XXXXX OrgName=XXXXX ComputerName=XXXXX[Display] BitsPerPel=16 Xresolution=1280 YResolution=1024 Vrefresh=60 AutoConfirm=1 ConfigureAtLogon=1[Components] msnexplr=off msmsgs=off Freecell=off Hearts=off Minesweeper=off Pinball=off Solitaire=off Spider=off ZoneGames=off[TapiLocation] CountryCode=1 AreaCode=717[FavoritesEx] Title1=XXXXX URL1=XXXXX[Branding] BrandIEUsingUnattended="Yes"[SetupMgr] DistFolder=c:\winxp\I386 DistShare=winxp$[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=XXXXX[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=No[NetAdapters] Adapter1=params.Adapter1[params.Adapter1] INFID=*[NetClients] MS_MSClient=params.MS_MSClient[NetServices] MS_SERVER=params.MS_SERVER[NetProtocols] MS_TCPIP=params.MS_TCPIP[params.MS_TCPIP] DNS=No DNSSuffixSearchOrder=XXXXX UseDomainNameDevolution=No EnableLMHosts=Yes AdapterSections=params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1[params.MS_TCPIP.Adapter1] SpecificTo=Adapter1 DHCP=No IPAddress=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX SubnetMask=255.255.255.0 DefaultGateway=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX DNSServerSearchOrder=XXXXX WINS=Yes WinsServerList=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX NetBIOSOptions=0[GuiRunOnce] %systemdrive%\post.bat
August 24, 200422 yr You can try using nLite to remove the nVidia drivers included with XP. It may be defaulting to them because they're digitally signed.
August 25, 200422 yr Author I'm always nervous about removing files like that, but I'll do it if I have to.But with the "DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore", isn't that supposed to force Windows to use the drivers I tell it?
August 25, 200422 yr No, it just tells setup not to prompt you about using unsigned drivers during hardware detection.
August 25, 200422 yr Wher did u get [Display] AutoConfirm=1 ConfigureAtLogon=1from??I couldnt find this in ref.chm of SP2 deployment tools cab file.
August 25, 200422 yr Author Wher did u get [Display] AutoConfirm=1 ConfigureAtLogon=1from??I couldnt find this in ref.chm of SP2 deployment tools cab file.I'm not sure. My whole setup started with using someone else's as a template, and I guess those lines were on there. I think those lines are needed for high resolution settings, like the ones I'm using, to keep Windows from reverting back (or something like that).
August 25, 200422 yr Author I've learned that Windows is using these two files as drivers:nv4_mini.sysnv4_disp.dllAnd I found those two files inside of SP2.CAB. I'm sure that deleting SP2.CAB is a bad idea, but what about deleting those two files from inside of it? And if so, how do I repack the rest of the files as a CAB file? Do I just ZIP them and rename SP2.ZIP to SP2.CAB? Is it that simple, or do I need a special utility to compress a bunch of files into a CAB? I'd rather do it this way instead of nlite, because that screwed me up somehow.
August 25, 200421 yr jdeboeck's XP reduction batch files have the ability to decompress the driver cab files and combine them into one. Your best bet is still to have nLite do it for you, since driver.cab and sp2.cab both need to be decompressed, the nVidia driver files need to be deleted, references to the files need to be deleted from the proper XP setup files, then the drivers need to be recompressed into driver.cab.Seriously, you're far better off (and less likely to run into problems) just letting nLite do it for you.
August 25, 200421 yr Author Well, I tried using nlite. I used it to remove display drivers, but nothing else -- I unchecked every other option. After it finished, I ran my installation again. Now I'm getting an error at the T-15 mark:"Windows cannot load the Internet Configuration Library (ICFGNT.DLL)."This was a fresh SP2 slipstream using nlite. Up until the removal of the display drivers, it had been working fine (save for the driver problem, of course). Now what do I do?
August 25, 200421 yr this is from ref.chm from the SP2 deployment package:If you are using DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore and you attempt to install a newer, unsigned copy of a driver that distributed with Windows XP or the Windows Server 2003 family, Setup installs the signed Windows XP driver instead of the unsigned drivers, in accordance with the ranking process used by the operating system.maybe that's what's happening?PS the only values used for [Display] are BitsPerPel, Vrefresh, Xresolution, and Yresolution.and to create cab files use makecab, it's included in windows. try a google or makecab /?

If I were you, I'd start a thread in the nLite forum so nuhi can answer directly. Odds are good it's just a missed setting or something.

Up until the removal of the display drivers, it had been working fine (save for the driver problem, of course). Now what do I do? I had the exact same problem when slipstreaming SP2 directly over an XP Volume Licence Edition (without SP1).Then I first slipstreamed SP1a and then SP2 on top of it and I got rid of the problem. There are also 15 (!) files that are older if you slipstream SP2 directly over XP (without SP1). So there are issues with slipstreaming and I have an open call at M$ Germany. Hopefully there will be answers soon. In the meantime:- Slipstream SP1a first and then SP2 on top of it- delete i386\sp1.* to save some space, it is not used anyway
