trouble Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm creating a new unattended XP cd with drivers, applications and regtweaks but I have 2 problems,1. I don't know how to remove Outlook Express, disabling it under the [Components] tab doesn't seem to work and a regtweak only removes the icons in the start menu .. Is there a way to fully remove Outlook Express without doing any harm?2. After installing windows and the drivers my screen often goes black and stays black. I have to reboot my pc before I can login and the cd installs my regtweaks.specifications of the pc are:Dell Optiplex gx260512mb-ramPentium 4 1,8ghzI hope one of you guys can help me, I searched all over the forum but couldnt for a proper solution for my problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to reboot my pc before I can login and the cd installs my regtweaks.Might be due to a refresh rate your setting in winnt.sif. If you set it too high your monitor screen will just go black.EDIT: nlite doesnt use the winnt.sif to remove outlook express it will use some kind of file deletion etc. Im not really sure but I dont think its done in the sif.

Martin Zugec Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Using unattend you can remove Outlook Express, if you specify in [Components]OEAccess=OffWell, it will not exactly remove it, just remove every shortcut from computer - which is better, because sometime you use OE objects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
