Ooh, ooh, I just remembered why this problem occurs in the first place! You absolutely MUST have a Windows printer driver installed, even if you don't actually have a printer. A long path name is one that violates the 8.3 rule, that is, a file name with more than 8 characters before a dot (if any) and/or more than 3 after the dot.

Make sure the 16-bit subsystem is running. I don't know how to do this in 2000. Double-check that you didn't install to a path that has a long path name.

Chris, thanks.

Do you know how to check the 16-bit subsystem in any other version of Windows (2000 might be similar). Also, what would be the long path name.

Again, thanks
