Derek and Irv, The following program locks up the modem answering software BEFORE I ever press the button. Looks like it has nothing to do with the shell issue. I'm at a total loss now... include Win32Lib.ew without warning ---- -- Window Window1 global constant Window1 = create( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default, 400, 300, 0 ) global constant PushButton2 = create( PushButton, "PushButton2", Window1, 52, 16, 90, 30, 0 ) ---- procedure PushButton2_onClick () integer rtn rtn = shellExecuteEx("open","exw.exe","d:/euphoria/training/arf020.exw","d:/euphor ia/training", SW_SHOWNORMAL,0) end procedure onClick[PushButton2] = routine_id("PushButton2_onClick") WinMain( Window1, Normal ) I wonder if this program grabs the focus and won't turn it loose so the modem answer software can initiate?? As soon as I kill this program the modem software answers the phone. ...george

There's nothing wrong with the program, and when I run it, I can still dial out, get my mail, etc,. while it's running. Please tell us what modem answering software you are using. Maybe someone else here has it also. Regards, Irv

Irv and Derek, I made a mistake and launched the program from mike-nz's editor. We know it locks it up there. I launched it from a dos window and the modem did not lock up even when I pushed the button to shellExecuteEx the next program. So it would seem to me there is a problem with the system_exec() in EU which the shellExecuteEx() does not exibit. This is what mike-nz uses. Remember this problem with system_exec also locks up my whole computer when the monitor goes to sleep. I'll try that with this short program which uses shellExecuteEx...right chancey since it corrupts my desktop usually... FYI the modem software is Quick Link Message Center III version 3.1 by Smith Micro Software, Inc. ...george ...george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 9:07 AM Subject: Re: bad bug continued > > > > > > Derek and Irv, > > The following program locks up the modem answering software BEFORE I > > ever press the button.

Using Matt's suggestion with > shellExecuteEx doesen't have the problem..@#$%/ OK, I've gotten lost. Are you saying that Matt's example causes no problems, even when you use it to execute another Eu program? But using the shellExecuteEx call in a Win32Lib program does cause the problem(s)? What you really need to know, as I see it, is:"will your program, written in Euphoria, using Win32Lib, lock up people's computers if they run it by clicking on the icon." Your clients won't be using Matt's editor, or anything like that, to run your programs, and you can easily avoid the use of system_exec() or shellExecuteEx in your programs. Regards, Irv

Yes, that is exactly what i'm saying. Using Matt's suggestion of shellExecuteEx() does not lock up anything... but the system_exec() does lock up quicklink and the monitor wakeup stuff. ...george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 12:17 PM Subject: Re: bad bug continued > > > > > > > well, i don't know.

Hi George, You might remember that I mentioned I had the same monitor wakeup problem with a Morfit program. The C version of that program had no problems but the Eu port would prevent the computer from waking up. I mention it again because my Eu program did not use system_exec(), shellExecuteEx() or anything like that. However, I did use get_key() to do a simple program exit. Your comment regarding "losing focus" has got me wondering if that was my problem. An open console screwing up the wakeup? As a matter of interest do you have an open console anywhere? The Eu doc for system_exec() says "system_exec() does not start a new DOS shell." so I suspect not but I thought I would mention it. Good luck!
