yeah, that's what I thought. How do I get around it?
It's a network drive, so I can't make the address any smaller! The main file folder is already mapped to B:\ - and that's where I'm tying to put the files, so going by that, the directory is onlt 3 characters long!

I've seen it a few times. Something about it actually going through Documents and Settings before getting there. Does it involve a shortcut on the desktop?

the file, for instance, is on my desktop, but have tried it from the C:\ root
I've tried it on a different PC, and it was fine!
I'm wondering if it's anything to do with the network setup?
My setup is...

 

adsl router plugged into an ethernet switch. Plugged into this is a) the network drive and b) the wireless gateway.

 

When i try doing it from the wirless laptop, error occurs. When i try doing it from a wired desktop (plugged directly into the switch) it works.

 

If so, what can i have as a workaround? I can't think of anyway of wiring it that doesn't involve buying more hardware (which aint going to happen).

 

I do have a wireless router, which I can't use as a router (no modem in it). I used to use it as a gateway, until I got a proper one.

 

I mentioned something about this the other day; would I be able to have the wirless router (as a gateway) elsewhere in the house, with the drive attached to that?

Hi. I runned into that problem too. And after days of searching I finally found this software: Delete Long Path File Tool.

It's GREAT. You can find it here: http://pathtoodeep.com

I reckon he's probably got it sorted by now.

You think?

Crop your sig, get rid of some of the white space!

Had a couple extra breaks in there for some reason. TY

A little better but there's still loads of white space top and bottom of the actual image.

Not here there isn't.

Your sig is too bunched up, can you add some whitespace?

It was on sale, fuckin white space police! Give a brother a break!

:?

I thought you were being mean like Ant. I don't know who to believe now. Too much white space, not enough. I'll just take the damn thing off!

Nooo! Leave it on.

Just add a gap above his head, so it doesn't look hunched over in a cave when there's text above.

Or right align it would work too.

There bloody well is, just because you have a massive sig :C

wow, he's only half that tall on my screen. I'll cut him down instead of relying on doing it in the html.

Just to check we're seeing the same thing...

We are not seeing the same thing. I was actually going to recommend looking at Matts sig to see how to do a stickman at the right size, but he's got it right already, just not for me.
