Run it from a command prompt so you can see the error message.

k ive heard of comand prompts but dont know how to do it

[Yamaha285]

k well i googled how to do it for windows 7 it said click start menu/all programs/accessories/comand prompt and click it. then it says click start again and in the search bar type cmd then hit enter then hold shift and right click and search for program to run comand prompt in but i couldnt get it to search for my file. like i held shift and right clicked and got what you get when you just click on the desktop

Once you have the command prompt open, cd to the location you unzipped the scripts (e.g. type "cd c:\Users\mylogin\mjpeg4mxsim") and run it by typing the name of the script and pressing enter.

Another option would be to add a line that consists of "pause" at the end of the bat file.

[Yamaha285]

it says that it cannot be found when i type that and hit enter

[jlv]

Did you substitute the location you unzipped the scripts for "c:\Users\mylogin\mjpeg4mxsim"?

[Yamaha285]

really im not sure when the command prompt is open i typed that and hit enter i guess i just dont know how to get it to run in the location i need.

Where have you put the scripts? You need to type "cd" followed by that location.

scripts are in my personal folder the mjpeg4mxsim with all the things in there and when i typed the location i got this "is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[jlv]

Try it one folder at a time -

cd C:\
cd Users
cd whatever_your_username_is
cd AppData
cd Local
cd "MX Simulator"
cd mjpeg4mxsim
mxavi.bat

It might be easier to add "pause" to the end of the script.

It can't find mx.exe. Change the first line of the script to this:

path %PATH%;c:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator

If mx.exe is located somewhere besides "c:\Program Files (x86)\MX Simulator", use that location instead.
