My microphone is too soft for skype, dictation, etc. It used to be fine. Is it possible for me to have stuffed sth up with nLite to make this happen? Tried a new notebook and it's the same thing. Again with nLite XP. btw on 2 pcs it's soundmax and realtek audio. With realtek I got the notebook internal mic 'boosted' but noisy. soundmax is on a desktop I can't boost it any...?

plus the popular DotNetFx_All_In_1_Addon_v2.7z doesn't include 3.5 sp1

what's that? Is it the same as what nlite's doing? or does it complement each other?

works great! thx

Sorry, it is the synaptics touchpad driver ! If after dead XP I remove the synaptics touchpad driver then the mouse moves!(?) argh. I dunno what to do. I checked the drivers from the synaptics page again, it's fine. unless either my touchpad isn't a real synaptics or sth wrong with the latest drivers

yes it works with a FULL cd. Unless it means including the synaptics touchpad driver is bad? When I do driver folders, eg Intel Chipset with 50 infs, does it matter if I add it as 'single' or 'folder', and which inf I choose? Cuz when I choose the folder, it doesn't list many infs, but just the directory name. I remember the old version would show a list of items to choose from?

I did one with no 'hardware support' removed. Still no good. Even if I re-install the synaptics drivers after XP. Note that synaptics touchpad is broken, but USB mice works fine. Does that mean anything? In device manager, it shows 'synaptics ps/2 port pointing device' as the only under mice and etc.. and no errors shown there. resources shows IRQ12, no conflicts Is there a way to change the USB polling patch value in my 'installed' system and see if it can be fixed?

Here it is. It's hardware support section right? Not services - I deleted a few of those too? Last_Session.ini

I made an nlite disk for my netbook. The synaptics touchpad works DURING install, but is broken once WinXP finished/boots. Any idea what I did wrong?

keyboard shortcut underline and some other 'tweaks' options don't work or have no effect. After install they are still the XP defaults. Is this normal?

it would keep going from HDD seemingly, even tho BIOS set to boot from the CD. In the end I just put orig XP CD in anyway, and it completed. Strangely, auto login etc from the nlite applied, but components - i dunno. Also the touchpad doesn't respond. But now at least I can reinstall again.

My nlite install on my netbook fails due to the 'registers components' issue. Even after restart it gets to the same place and hangs. So I want to try a non nLite install. But every reboot it doesn't get a 'press any key' msg, but starts winXP immediately, and tries to restart setup, regardless I put a different disk in. How do I start from scratch again?

I see this is the answer to almost any problem. But if nLite always needs a fresh copy then that in itself is a bug. If I told you your doc files need to be written in 1 session from scratch all the time, is that reasonable? Or your movies must be watched 100% at a time, no pause/ff/rwd?

I get this as well. I've never had problems with nLite b4, and even this ISO works fine in VM. So I suspect it's a but in the new nLite.

yours and redxii's are both Mar 09, what's the DirectX for Managed Code AddOn on redxii's page? do you have it within yours?

is directx finished now? I search the forum and the latest release is 2008.

I don't understand, if we are installing a PDF printer, why do we need some special Windows files and not stuff that's included in the software we are installing? anyway, if TranceEnergy's list is the great list for PDF printers, maybe we should add it to the program so that we don't all have to add it manually. physical printers usually we install the driver ourselves anyway

of course there is. and you can do what nlite does with dos and notepad. but that would be hard. as is using all these separate apps and procedures, 20 diff pages w/ diff steps, why?

can we have a .net addon sticky ? MS keeps pushing out fixes and SP1 and post SP1 fixes, and it's so hard to find which pack was working etc.

I also clicked on the users bit just in case it needed a refresher.

Still not working, so can someone say if it's working for them or is nobody using SP3 yet?

I have an error with the auto login. It says " the system could not log you on. make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again" in the background I can see the log onto Windows with my username and password also looks filled in. The only thing different from this is that I started again with a clean WinXP SP2 and slipstreamed SP3 into it, then added all my other options as normal. Therefore my options should be fine as I imported from a working disk. Does SP3 break something? eta: after logging in as admin, I found that my username was not created at all. creating a new nlite from scratch gave the same error.

so in the end is there a way to slipstream directx instead of install?

sorry to beat around the dead bush but there still isn't a single point of info on what really works. Stuff works for some ppl, and the same may not work for others. Now, I have the RogueSpear's .net 3.5, but it only seems to install .net 2 and not 3 or 3.5 some ppl say this same one works perfectly etc. In any case, maybe I didn't add it correctly? I added it to the addons page, and it shows fine, I just don't see any other area I could add it.

I've never really understood why there are some user updates which are small and why there are full updates which are so big. Can someone who knows give a definitive answer on why you would want to use the big one instead of a small one?
