The problem there was the driverpacks and WPI run at the same time, so I used the runonceex method for the driverpacks (oem.exe i think that's what it's called from memory) but ie7 didn't like it because the driverpacks file adds a title in the runonceex registry and i found that my computer refused to load anything from runonceex while the title was there. For some reason it didn't name the systemdrive either and instead of c:/DPsFnshr.exe it just had /DPsFnshr.exe
So i decided the best idea was to was to use WPI and install driverpacks last. All went well untill the finisher started at the end and that's when WPI stopped! It complained about a WPI Undefined error. Then i got JScript runtime eror:'rbf Handle' is null or not an object [368] Thread 170
I dont like ask for help on forums because I have never received any as yet
I have reformatted and installed xp since and the error is repeatable every time. At least it's consistant and that makes my job easier.
I tried the installation with just the driverpack in wpi and no software and it doesn't crash, well that's a start right?
Now I have narrowed the software clash to 3 possible programs:
Microsoft Office Professional
Java 2 Runtime Environment 1.6.0.1
Macromedia Flash Player 9
So now I'll have to reformat my poor laptop another time to narrow it down to 1
