Pat as always you are right on the ball My OEMPnpDriversPath value was way over this limit at about 2500 characters. The problem is that I have so many different types of hardware here. Dell, Gateway, Compac, IBM, and other clone machines. Nics include Broadcom, Intel, Marvel, 3com, realtek, etc. Also have various audio cards and video drivers lol
I managed to trim it down and lot and it worked great !!! Thanks again m8 The good thing is that from last month our company is now only purchasing Dell hardware so the problem for me will go away a little although it doesn't help with rebuilds etc. Aron Mangano IT Support - Australia West Maunsell Australia Pty Ltd 629 Newcastle Street PO Box 81 Leederville 6902 Western Australia ABN 20 093 846 925 Tel + 61 8 9281 6231 Fax + 61 8 9281 6295 This document and any attachments are intended solely for the named addressee and are confidential.

It (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312535) also says: "When you use Winnt.exe, the OEMPnpDriversPath value is limited to 1,024 characters." And we definitely use winnt.exe :-). - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
