Thanks guys for the help....yes it appears that only the FAT32 systems are the ones that crash and have that found.001 problem.....unfortunately running NTFS also requires a little more heftier hardware which we do not have (most are 233mhz running Windows 2000)....I'll post my code if anyone ever needs a way to determine which systems may crash in the near future...

code:
; Determine how many Found.* Folders are on a machine
$FolderExists = Dir("C:\FOUND.*")
$found = 0
While $FolderExists <> "" AND @ERROR = 0
$found = $found + 1
$FolderExists = Dir("")
Loop
?"Total No. of Faulty Found folders: " + "$found"
