Everytime you open this file on a laptop the y-axis title (Pressure) gets the e at the end cut off. I have opened it on 3 laptop's (all with the same) and the problem presents itself. When I open it on a desktop...it is fine. In fact, any thing you type in gets that last letter left out. I have been through all of the formating menu's and nothing has changed it. It is even printing that way too, but only on the laptops!!! Any advice will help. I have attached a screenshot that was taken on my desktop...so it will look normal. untitled.bmp

yeah, that helped. I found another way to do it instead of doing it the way I wa thinking. @echo off echo This will install Post-SP2 updates... pause echo Installing Windows2000-KB899587-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\Windows2000-KB899587-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86 ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing Windows-KB890830-V1.7A-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\Windows-KB890830-V1.7A-ENU.exe /q echo Installing WindowsXP-KB873333-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB873333-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB873339-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB873339-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB885250-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB885250-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB885835-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB885835-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB885836-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB885836-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB885884-x86-enu ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB885884-x86-enu.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB886185-x86-enu ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB886185-x86-enu.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB887472-x86-enu ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB887472-x86-enu.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB887742-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdate\WindowsXP-KB887742-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB888113-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdate\WindowsXP-KB888113-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB888302-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB888302-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB890046-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB890046-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB890859-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB890859-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB891781-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB891781-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB893066-v2-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB893066-v2-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB893086-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB893086-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB893756-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB893756-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB894391-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB894391-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896344-v2-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896344-v2-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896358-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896358-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896422-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896422-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestar echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896423-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896423-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896428-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896428-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB896727-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB896727-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB898461-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB899587-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB899587-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB899588-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB899588-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB899591-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB899591-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB900930-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB900930-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing WindowsXP-KB901214-x86-ENU ..\WindowsUpdates\WindowsXP-KB901214-x86-ENU.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing .Net Framework 1.1 ..\WindowsUpdates\dotnetfx.exe /Q echo Installing NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86 ..\WindowsUpdates\NDP1.1sp1-KB867460-X86.exe /Q echo Installing NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86 ..\WindowsUpdates\NDP1.1sp1-KB886903-X86.exe /Q echo Installing HMTCDWizard_enu.exe ..\WindowsUpdates\HMTCDWizard_enu.exe /passive /norestart echo Installing Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool ..\WindowsUpdates\gdidettool.exe /Q echo Reboot the machine... pause If you have any ideas on how I can do this better...please let me know.

I am trying to set up all of the post-SP2 updates to run when I execute a batch file located on a external USB HD. I am having problems getting the batch file set up to so it will reconize the drive letter of the external HD. I haven't made that many batch files, so I guess you can call me a n00b. Thanks for the help.
