This a long shot,, you may need to add the autoexec.nt and the config.nt from the 
c:\winnt\system32 to your myscript.rex  (autoexec and the confg.backup files are 
in the repair folder) if you don't see them in the system32 folder put them in the 
system32 folder so win2k can find them...when it runs the script..
hope this long shot works for you.

NOTE***you can view the files with NotePad
