    If you moved temp you have to change system variables for it from a CMD prompt type set does it show correctly?

    I changed temp folders system settings.....the new temp folder seems to have file sizes in it ok
    do I need CMD line to set it up, I didn't think so
    been working ok for some time...maybe a program I installed could not tolerate the temp file in a different location

    If you have the Setup Builder installer, Uninstall Setup Builder, restart the computer and reinstall it. It will find the correct Temp folder and be good to go

    Don't have setup builder.....could this have been part f something I installed....I uninstalled all recent installs, but it still remains.....should I just search the registry for setup builder and delete entries..

    Don't search the registry by hand. Use Autoruns to find the startup. If you want us to have a look at it, File->Save it as a default .arn file then zip and attach to next post
