How easy is it and what's the easiest way of doing this for us rookies? That way we don't have to reinstall WinXP (SP2), then have to upgrade all the rest of the crap before we actually get to a "working" computer. :thumbsup:

No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try.

How can I integrate IE8 and WMP11 (or 12 coming soon) with XP SP3?

The first time I slipstreamed, there was no tutorial here to guide me. I researched, then I did it. The process was easier than I thought it would be. To anyone who has never done it, and wants to try I say to you:

If I can do it, anyone can.

And since we now have the tutorial here at BC, it will be a snap to do. Good luck with it, and if you try it, please let SneakyCyber know that it worked for you.

Those instructions seem to be missing some parts, because I had to work around some of them. Not sure if I got it right or not.

Thanks though. Might look around for other instructions and see if they compare.

Can't remember what the exact step was messed up, but figured it out, possibly. Won't know til I try reinstalling in the future. Thanks.
