Interesting. Is this what you mean? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3DKB;EN-US;Q158474&ID=3DKB;EN-US;Q158474 If so, it appears to affect Win95 & WinME too (since they're all Win9x really). A related Google came up with a user report saying "there have been reports saying that setting this value to higher than 300 can cause problems". Similar reports suggested setting MaxConnections to 256. It's not hard to modify the wininstaller, I'll do it when I have a chance. I take it that guy who recently started wininstaller hacking has actually wandered away again? d _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
