When Nlite'ing a windows installation, Nlite always freezes at the finalization of the Nlite when doing the compression of CAB files. It freezes the entire OS, can't even move the mouse and i have to hit hte reset button. I've tried numerous times, dunno what hte problem is.

how fast is your CPU?? what did you set the process priority to?? it could just be taking all the CPU power or it could be something more.. :-/

Try bringing up task manager and display the processes sorted from Max cpu% to least. Then

bring up Nlite and repeat what you are doing. Watch the task manager %'s change to see

what is taking up all the time. Usually recompressing to cab files (even with 1 gig memory on 1ghz

machine) takes awhile. About 15 minutes on my machine.

Do you overclock, what is your makecab.exe, try to restore it from original cd.
