Hi - just upgraded to XP. I have a bat file that looks like

call app1.exe
call app2.exe


In windows 98 - calling the file would open both apps. In XP, even
without the call commands, it won't open app2 until app1 terminates.

How do I do this properly?
thanks

Hi

Trying to control timing in Windows XP batch files very tough.
I suggest you have two batch files, then use a proprietary timing
program to schedule the runs of app 1 and app 2.

Click to expand...

If console apps, maybe

start app1
start app2

or if gui, maybe this will do

app1 & app2

I'd use .cmd, not .bat.
