OBD reset & emissions...how long do I have to drive it before it's ready? S70 1998

Hey gang.

I took my car to do my GA state emissions test on Monday...and it failed. But it failed because my OBD system wasn't ready. It wasn't ready because on Sunday, I had disconnected the battery to reset it. So the "emissions guy" said, "Well, drive it for a while and bring it back...it should be ready then." I drove it for three days...took it back...and it still wasn't ready and therefore failed again.

How far do I have to drive it before it's ready? Any ideas?

I already used up my freebie one so I'm going to have to pay another $25 again. No big deal really, just a pain in the ass.

Thanks.

-John
