Does any one know how to disable the DOS console window from opening when a running application make a call from the program that requires a DOS call or program to run another DOS application. In this case it appears to be a device driver that is starting up. I know in services there is a check box for disabling interacting with the desktop, but is there something for devices, or is there a switch or command that can be added or changed in the registry?

Are you sure it's a device driver? You need to pin down what's actually causing the window to open. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Thanks MasterRacker!<br>
We are using a special communications card call TICM.<br>
In the registry when this is set to "fail" i.e. the comm has failed or disconnected the call for this doesn't pop and open the DOS console window. I'm looking for a way to allow the DOS call for the TCIM comm but suppress the opening of the console on top of the existing screen or the desktop. To run in the background I think?<br>
