2000 Saturn SC2 computer won't reset

I just bought a 2000 Saturn SC2 that had a ‘service engine soon’ light on. I took it to the shop to get it inspected and they reset the computer and said that I needed to drive it around 100 miles to reset the computer so it would pass MO state emissions. After driving it 160 miles only two of the required have reset. Any suggestions? I took it on the highway at 55 MPH steady for 2 miles….actually did around 8 miles…. as the shop suggested (people really get pissed when you drive that slow!) and that did not work.

The codes show 'no codes found' at the auto parts store....but at the auto shop they get the following with their scan tool: OBD Communications: Pass, Data Link Connector (DLC): Pass, O2 Sensor: Not Completed, Catalytic Converter: Not Completed O2 Sensor Heater: Completed, Secondary Air: Completed, EGR system: Not Completed, Evap. System: Not Completed, Count of Not Ready Monitors: 4....they say I can only have 2 'not ready' to pass.

You need to complete a "drive cycle" as described in the link.
