Hi Doug,

Thanks for looking into it. As for your advice on the page numbers, I didn't copy them as one whole
section so I didn't have any page numbers inbetween the registry keys.
I have now been able to add all registry settings in the document without getting the same error but
for one setting it does however still happen which is :

REG key
----------
MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions,4,%TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions%,3,0|%TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions0%,1|%TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions1%,2|%TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions2%,3|%TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions3%MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\TcpMaxDataRetransmissions,4,%TcpMaxDataRetransmissions%,1

Matching Strings
--------------------
TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions = "MSS: (TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions) SYN-ACK
retransmissions when a connection request is not acknowledged"

TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions0 = "No retransmission, half-open connections dropped after 3
seconds"

TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions1 = "3 seconds, half-open connections dropped after 9 seconds"

TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions2 = "3 & 6 seconds, half-open connections dropped after 21
seconds"

TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions3 = "3, 6, & 9 seconds, half-open connections dropped after 45
seconds"

Each time I add this one and register the inf file I am unable to see the settings in the security
options page in the MMC editor until I manually deleted the registry key under SecEdit.
This will be pretty hard for you to recreate if not near impossible on your box since I think this
is just one of those things that could have a thousand reasons I suppose.
I will just forget about this one registry setting for now and will install a virtual PC like you
and test it on that see if I can get it to work or find out why it goes wrong. Anyways thnx for the
interest and trouble you put into this.

Kind Regards.
