Sp2 resolution problems

[lennierv]

I have just created a slipstreamed windows xp pro with sp2

It also contains the oemlogo and an unattended installation (WINNT.SIF)

The problem is that the installation of windows xp occurs in low resolution (the

installation is where the xp installs drivers and asks for name and company)

It also comes in terribbly low resolution after the installation (16 colors)

How come my version of xp does this?

Any ideas in solving this problem.?? Did sp2 replace or delete the generic

video driver

Can I extract a file from my xp cd and replace one of the sp2 files???

Please help!!

Do you have a problem if you install your video card drivers after installing Windows?

This resolution issue could be due to one of many things. If you don't have problems after installing your video drivers, then I wouldn't worry about anything.

So your saying that everything is natural with my XP?

Is the resolution suppose to appear like this with sp2 slipstreamed??

The drivers work afterwards but its usually better if xp recognizes which

always saves me the hassle of installing the video drivers

I'm not sure if the resolution is "supposed" to be like that. Did you just slipstream, or did you use nLite?

You should always install drivers for your video card. The Microsoft drivers do an OK job, but you'll most likely get better performance if you install the video drivers made for your video card. It's not that big of a hassle... is it?

I just slipstreamed with the integrate command in cmd.

If you install xp every day on many different machines it is

a hassle.

I really just want the xp to work good

Does nlite provide the function to add video drivers?

[Zxian]

Do you get the same results with a standard UA disk (no service pack)?

I'd try re-creating the SP2 disk. It sounds to me like something went wrong there.

Yes, nLite offers the ability to integrate video drivers. Otherwise, you can also have a look at the Driverpacks from Bâshrat the Sneaky here.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but when I slipstream a service pack, I use this syntax -s, so it looks something like;

C:\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU -s:C:\XPCD

As is in the guide, here

my windows xp sp2 cd does this too. My video drivers are installed after the installation though. So i have the same problem as lennierv.
