Im haveing problems with the runwait command.. I'm trying to get a DOS program to work.. I works fine when I open cmd.exe in start menu then type in command for it to run in command prompt. But when I try to open it in RunWait("C:Gamesgame.exe /vga") it doesnt show up. I see it in task manger but no windows for it. I even tryed @SW_MAXIMIZE to see if that helps. still no change.. I still see it loaded up in task manger and its running with 20% cpu.. and I hear the music but no window..

I noteced that when I open it up from command prompt, I saw it like close the window and reopen another window or like it resized the window.. I can get it to work from a batch file but not from autoIT..

anyone with any Ideas??? I spent like 3 hours on it and came up with nothing.. all I can think of is a thing that will open cmd.exe and write "C:Gamesgame.exe /vga" directly to it.. but I can find out how to do that

I even tryed ShellExecuteWait("C:Gamesgame.exe /vga") an it just errored and didn't like the spacing in some of the switches in side of the "" for the command

Have you looked at the helpfile in those 3 hours? ShellExecuteWait() should have the commandline parameters in a separate parameter.

...but, have you read our forumrules, because looking at your commandline you are telling us you are staring a game?

"parameters [optional] Any parameters for the program. Blank ("") uses none." I couldn't find anything about how to set up parameter.. I did a index search for it in help and it poped up with every thing that has parameters.. nothing about the diffrent parameters options.. I even tryied google "autoIT parameters" and came up with a bunch of stuff on how to complie autoit files.. I some one can piont me in the right direction on how to . That would help me. Sorry sorta new to autoIT but starting picking it up..

[autoit]$var1 = " /vga"

ShellExecuteWait(" C:gamesgame.exe " & $var1, "", @ScriptDir, "open")[autoit]

then I run it I get a massage saying windows cannot find 'C:gamesgame.exe /vga' Make sure you typed it correctly.. if I goto cmd in windows and type it in command prompt it loads no problem.

when I run

RunWait("C:gamesgame.exe " & $var1)

it shows up as a precess at 20% cpu and is nunning but nothing under applications the the gui I make.. even kill the gui I made and that screen closes but only thing I can do to stop the game is to stop the process.. the game is still running until I kill the process..

Rob781,

It is not "where" you are posting that is the problem - Jos was referrring to "what" you are posting. ;)

I suggest you take a look at the Forum rules - particularly the bit about not discussing game interaction - and then you will understand why this thread is now locked. :naughty:
