ok. can you run this command successfully from the ACCTUAL machine? i mean, without ssh or something - like over VNC? if it dosnt work when you have the native machine running it from a more local (more local meaning not over SSH, but with some means of actually controlling the machine) If at all else, run it on a clone machine with a real kb and mouse. PS: are you SURE you want to use "cmd" and not the native VBScript system? - -- Just a Thought Morgan Gangwere For those who want my PGP key: http://pengunassasin.kicks-ass.org/pgpKey.html ******* Wisdom for the day ******* * Dont rawquote - it gives * * spammers free bait! * ********************************** -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGYJurCF9T/dUsmAgRAhHMAJ9CnjwyNQqTuIFuF7FubgvoKYyUiACfeyQQ iGlOWRisqGlTsQnxZzqD1Kw= =ApgW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
