You can use longer names for your files you just have to make sure you properly use the $$RENAME.TXT file to rename your 8.3 files to whateveryouwanttocallyourlongfile here is an example:
**$$RENAME.TXT** [Profiles] WHATEV~1="What Ever You Want To Call Your Long File" **$$RENAME.TXT** For more logic examples of $$RENAME.TXT use Google and paste the following into the "Groups" tab. $$RENAME.TXT site:support.microsoft.com --Hey how many of you folks use "bart's pe?" ______________________________________________________________________ Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] College of Literature, Science, & Arts 1007 East Huron, Room 201, BetaID:243340 Cell: (734) 323-8776 Ann Arbor,MI 48104-1690 www.umich.edu/~donofrio Fax: (734) 647-8333 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail /\ [http://arc.pasp.de/] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gerhard Hofmann Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 3:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Unattended] Post-Windows Networking?

I have had the same problems with some very new notebooks. Using the $oem$/$1 mechanism definitely is the right way, so you should concentrate on this. Are the driver files copied to the hard disk?
