The commands run fine in a CMD window.

For example:

Take this simple KIX script called TEST.KIX that I created for testing purposes. This file resides in the root of C: on my machine.

SHELL "CMD /C START /MAX /W chkdsk c:"

On my machine (in the root dir of a CMD prompt) I run KIXTART TEST.KIX, and it works just fine.

On the other machine, you do the same thing, it does NOTHING.

@ERROR is ALWAYS -1 on the faulty machine. %errorlevel% is 0

@ERROR on my machine is 0 , and %errorlevel% is 0.

What I am looking for is a cause for SHELL not doing anything at all when called?
