I used a fresh cd of XP Pro SP1 to make an unattended iso using nlite.

The problem is that no matter what I change about windows (display settings, start menu settings, etc) They are always reverted back to the original settings after a reboot/restart/log-off.

Here's the info from my Last Session.ini

[Hotfixes]

Also, even though it SAYS "Keep msconfig.exe" it was deleted. I had to redownload it from the web.

I have never ran into this case before ……

no ideas?

bump for desperation

Did you delete the OEM folder or the nlite command inside cmdlines.txt?

All I did was extract the files from the XP cd, and then run nlite and go through the steps.

Then I burned it and installed it.

I´m not quite sure, ´cause I don´t have XP, but :
One source could be, that you´re using nlite in Vista, to create an XP CD.
Another one could be, that "Manual Install and Upgrade" was removed and "Start Menu-Do not use Personalized Menus" was selected, even though you´re integrating personal themes.
Definitely the nvidia driver will not work, if it was extracted with doubledriver !
Same may apply to the other driver.

Agi

Edit:
You didn´t turn off SFC !

is there a utility that I can use to turn settings back on?

And what is SFC?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=sfc

so is there any way I can change options for my install within windows? Such as a program or something.

Or is the only option just a re-install?
