Hi Bloodbird, welcome to the forum.

It would have been better if you put this post in the support section, just something to keepin mind for future posts of this nature.

Autoit comes with a great help file, if you got to Start -> All Programs -> AutoIt v3 -> AutoIt Help File

Click the index button and enter keywords you are looking for like for example run

You will find

Run ( "filename" [, "workingdir" [, flag]] )

and a working example at the bottom of the page.

Look these up also

Run

Winactive

Sleep

While

If

Hope that helps you out, happy scripting

Nova
