No, I am not doing anything with the file.

If LaserTrak is running and I run a simple script like ...

$x = messagebox ("Test","Test",64)

The messsagebox never appears, I hear a "ding", wkix32.exe shuts down and the crash is logged in the Event Log.

If I shutdown LaserTrak and run the script again, everything works as expected.

The vendor, CopiTrak, has been contacted, but they are saying the problem is with Kix ...
