How did it fail.. ? error messages ? please elaborate so i can fix it

H[]R3NDUS

Process1_Initialization_Failed blue screen error

After it finishes loading windows drivers for the windows install.

i will try again today and leave out my 145 window patches i intergrated.

2nd attempt went further...but came up with a .sys errorafter it loaded windows drivers...just before disk selection..

i wander if it is because i am using a slipstream cd origionally a sp1 cd that i converted couple years back now...

2 things

1. nLite needs .Net Framework installed to run properly
2. This guide needs WinXP Pro SP2 as the working base to start from.

So for WinXP Pro SP1 users:

1. Start a new session with fresh WinXP Pro SP1 base copied to a new folder on hard drive.
2. Download WinXP Pro SP2 update from microsoft.com.
3. Start nLite v1.4 beta and point to the WinXP Pro SP1 base copied to a new folder as source
4. At Task Selection stage in Step 4, select only Service Pack (and maybe bootable ISO if you want a base SP2 cd-rom for future purposes) and nothing else
5. On next page you will be prompted to point to the service pack location - that is the WinXP Pro SP2 download location on your hard drive. Once pointed to it will begin the integration of SP2 into your SP1 base cd-rom.
6. Once completed, go to create a bootable ISO and burn to CD-RW if you want a base SP2 cd-rom created. Skip this step if you just want to get on with the custom addon package guide.
7. Next, finish and close the nLite session.
8. Now your base source files are for WinXP Pro SP2. You can winzip or copy this source elsewhere to keep in a same place so for future nLite sessions you can make a copy of this SP2 source to work as base files for future nLite sessions so you don't need to redo SP2 slipstreaming.
9. Now start on the addon guide eva2000's nLite Custom Addon Package + RyanVM updates + Xpized Lite + Luna Royale pointing to this SP2 source base

Testing which theme is faster for Super Pi 32M @8x450FSB 4:5 562Mhz 4-4-4-5 and seems Luna Silver theme still best followed by Luna Royale Blue. But not really extensive tests only one run of each heh. More tests later

Luna Silver = 13min 08.719s
Luna Royale Blue = 13min 08.859s
Luna Royale Blue Compact = 13min 08.938s
Luna Royale Black = 13min 08.953s

lol Eva testing fastest themes as well some people have to much time on there Hands

JAFFA

I did quite a bit of testing of the themes and other tweaks early in the year eva.

I did the 10 runs with each tweak, discarded the highest and lowest runs and then calculated the mean average and here is what I found:-



note:- ignore the copy waza times, turns out i was doing it wrongly. Also some tweaks become less effective with other tweaks active, but I lost patience with it and didn't bother testing that far. With all the tweaks active it would take more than 0.15s off the time (13.8XXs) @3.6GHz (400x9 4:5 on 975x) IIRC.
