I used to load a bunch of 3rd Party drivers and seemed to have problems. All I use now is Modem and Monitor, seem to have less problems.

Hope this helps.

p.s. There are a couple patches for XP that increase the IP stack to 100 or more (more Network users).
Nlite has a "option" to increase to 1000.

I have used this for small server requirements where the company is small and has limited funds, also requires less maintenance.

Maybe 712C may solve the Proxy support.

I personally see no problems in making 712b final as everything I have thrown at it works, SP3, HiDef Audio etc.

I agree with the previous thoughts that frequent updates that fix problems incrementally are better than more complete updates once a year.
It also gives the people who do the programming a little rest and that frequent "feel good" for their hard work.

We would all like everything in the Feature Request List programmed and tested in 3 days but as we all know, every update is a lot of work.

My bad:  It was XP Pro

Tried a release version of MASS and everything was OK. Sorry Jaak.

I hope someone else has had time to try it, worked on 4 PC's I had in the shop.

Thanks for the input.

I thought I would test everything at the same time. If something broke I would work backwards, did not need to, it all worked fine.

The only thing I always do is erase all the files in QSC when I upgrade a MassStorage file.
Maybe another modification to the Base (2008 project) to erase these files BEFORE a slipstream ????

Time for a rest, today I have to finish shopping with my wife, rather be working on my PC !!!

Before my accident I took life for granted, now I treat life, my wife and relaxation with respect. All may end at any time.

Enjoy your Christmas, it's turkey time everybody.

Wow, this whole thing is like a can of worms.

Overflow is correct, it's not a true "Public Release" as you have to dig down deep on the MS web site.
Although my MS rep says it has gone gold. (edit: Build 3264 fixes the minor bug)

I will use SP3 in my slipstreamed XP DVD and use the workaround I described in an earlier post, it works well and only takes an extra minute.

If I find any fix I will report back.

Getting to close to the holidays to argue.
I suggest we drop this until the New Year.

To all the programmers and the testing team who work so hard:

A very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Using Nlite 1.4.1 I did the following (still did not work)

Slipstream SP3

Integrate KB835221

Driverpacks

Still have the same error when installing XP that 5 files are missing, all of them HDA

Found some talk on the net that Microsoft has integrated KB888111 in SP3 but it is new and not working
If you you try to install 888111 after Windows is loaded it says a later version is already loaded.
(Have to uninstall the "unknown PCI" first)
Hope they fix it in the final, I will not hold my breath. I think they will issue a separate KB to fix the problem.
Many people are saying the present SP3 (8344) has gone gold. I will ask my Microsoft rep on Monday.

Seems as if the people on the forums work 22½/7/365, Microsoft only work 9-5 Mon-Fri.

Sorry to keep running this by you guys, but I hate to have something beat me.

I did not mean to anger or discourage anybody, I have the greatest respect and admiration for all the contributors to the code and driverpack sections.

I did give money to the cause and if you check I am/was on the Testing Team.

As with yourself, I have also been on the crap end of things and may know a little of what you are feeling.

Thanks for the comment re: accident. I had a serious back injury and broken bones and have just got the feeling back in my arms and hands, nice Christmas present, took 6 months and I had to learn to walk again. 
It's nice to be able to type and use a mouse again.

I for one would like to say, thank you for the work you and all the others do.

My apologies. I didn't realize that Bâshrat the Sneaky had handed it over to you or just dropped it into your lap.
I have been off the forum for some time after a serious car accident (not my fault).

Please do not feel offended or angry, quite simply, I did not know.
I will try and help anyway I can with this SP3 thing.

Believe me, everybody is grateful for all work put into this project and I commend you for taking on a almost thankless task.

Anyway, this is what I have so far:

KB888111 must work with SP3 as I have been able to run it after a full SP3 slipstream with Driverpacks installed.

The Realtek sound driver loads just fine afterwards and I assume that other Hi-Def sound cards will as well.

Can you create a version of the Base that loads KB888111 even if it does NOT find SP1, SP2. (remove the KB888111 ver. check)
During a Driverpack integration, a warning comes up and says that SP1 or SP2 is not installed so KB888111 will NOT be slipstreamed.

I can test very easily at the moment as I have a PC on the bench that has Realtek Hi-Def.

If it is, it does not work with anything I am doing. Maybe it's me, but it's not working.

Make sure it's a BIG gun, from what I am reading nothing else is being added to SP3, only minor bug fixes.
