>>It turned out to be a problem with the way DOS interprets the "=" sign in a batch file. The "=" is dropped….. Sorry if I'm hopping in on this one a bit late, but I use the "set=…" statement from batch files all the time to start 3ds in different display color depths, and it works perfectly. DOS (at least on our machines) sees the "=" in batch files just fine. I don't have any suggestions as to why your systems won't accept the commands, but I'm curious, do your machines see the "path=…" or "set temp(etc)=…" lines in the autoexec.bat? (which is of course just a batch file itself) David
