Hasi I added this code to my Registry Tweaks [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles] "MaxScriptStatements"=dword:ffffffff the max Dword allowed hopefully this will fix my problem if not. I give up. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In my Cleanup.cmd I added this //TimeOut reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles /F update it did not work! I hv removed all the autoit script i am using. time to test again. hasi is there a limit to how many programs i can install? i notice but not verified that after installing 27 programs i get that message. but i need to verify this update ok, here is what i come up with, even after removing all the autoit scripts i hv. i still get the error. just installing norton internet security 2005 and nothing else i still get the error. forgive me for the language but ahhhh!!!! update confirmed. i can install all 50 apps using sleep, wait, autoit. without any problems. but when i try to install Norton Internet Security 2005 by itself or with Microsoft office 2003, or frontpage or netframe work. DEAD!!! :shock; ok [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Styles] "MaxScriptStatements"=dword:ffffffff
