Hello there,

I recently modified a version of Vista Ultimate with SP2 integrated as an autounttend setup. The only thing I am running into that I don't understand is why the part that "checks your computer performance" does not come up. Instead my machine automaticlly reboots twice and after the second time and a few minutes of black screen my windows animation and windows startup sound start. Then i am prompted to change password. Then everything seems to run normally in spite of that problem. Any ideas?

It would help if you posted your xml (make sure to remove any sensitive info like serial, names and passwords)

Well, you told Windows to skip it. See?

Thanks cluberti for the feedback. I changed my xml and will test it to see if this solves the problem.
