The 4096 path length refers to the entire listing OEMPnpDriversPath, including all the drives in the diver tree: OemPnPDriversPath = "D\ATIfGLx1\drivers;D\ATIfGLx1\nvidia\QNVS280;D\ATIr9000;D\AudSigTe\WDM; D\D480;D\EthrtLat\DOS\NDIS2\v6.44;D\EthrtLat\Win2K\v6.64;D\EthrtLat\WinX P\v6.64;D\IwlessA20\R82163\Drivers;D\IwlessA20\R86279\Drivers;D\MSI6800; D\PCTEL2304WT;D\SIGMATELSTAC9750;D\T42-FGL\2KXP_INF;D\T42-modm;D\adi198x ;D\adi198x2\SMAXWDM\SE;D\adi198x2\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP;D\atix300\Driver\2KXP_I NF;D\bc570x;D\bc57xx;D\broadcom-7xxx\DOS\NDIS2\v7.65;D\broadcom-7xxx\Win 2K\v7.86;D\broadcom-7xxx\WinXP\v7.86;D\broadcom440x;D\broadcom570x;D\e10 00;D\e1000670;D\gx270;D\intel800;D\intel845;D\intelG;D\intelLOM;D\nvidia 71.84;D\p1000;D\p100A02\WINXP;D\p100ve;D\p100vesp;D\pro2100;D\pro2200;D\ scard.d800;D\soundmax\SMAXWDM\SE;D\soundmax\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP;D\x31-ati\DRI VER\XP_INF;D\x31-ati\PHILDEC\WDM_XP;D\x31-pwr;D\x31.mdm\W2KXP" The 64 character limit refers to a single driver path: D\ATIfGLx1\drivers;D\ATIfGLx1\nvidia\QNVS280 > Second, I got it to work by changing my driver folder name to b440, which > is very strange, because that makes it > > \\daloalabsrv.americas.ad.pegs.com\install\os\xpsp1\I386\$oem$\$1\b440 > > Which is still over the 64 character limit you indicate. Hmm, some of directories are over 8 characters and they work. It may be a particular case with this driver. However, in general, you should keep your directories to 8 characters or less.
