Guest RJ43 Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I'm trying to write a batch job for Power "Low battery alarm". I wanted to display a JPG file and then continuously play a .WAV file. I'm using the program irfanview to display the image and Windows Media player to play the sound file. From a command window when I type xxx.jpg, irfanview displays the image and the prompt returns. However, running the batch it waits until irfanview terminates. The odd thing is, the first time I ran my batch program, it hung on the jpg, but the .WAV files played one after the other. Then something happened and now the Media Player just plays one WAV file and the batch job now pauses until Media Player terminates and then starts again.... Any ideas why this is happening?
