XP repair/install problem

Thought I was smart! I slipstreamed my XP (SP2 slipstreamed) CD with SP3 using 'autostreamer'. All went well. To check the disk I ran repair/install on the XP SP3 installation. A fair number of 'cannot find files', although they are there in CDROM :i386. ONE example is icwconn.ex_ There were several others. The find file box shows the required file MINUS the extension and thus it will not copy it. Seems to be a common problem looking at Google but I have no fix. It is almost as if 'hide extensions for known file types' is active. I get the same if I use my XP SP2 disk.

I am thinking of doing a fresh install to see if I can locate a registry issue. Any ideas?
