But, Forum Maintainers: Please don't combine them. They are caused by completely different situations.

My Windows startup script launches 3 children: Total Commander, TextPad, and a VM running Linux Mint18. The first 2 launch as expected. Then, prior to Mint18, I get the error box above... then Mint18 launches.

Any ideas why this is happening? All ideas welcome.

Regards,
Mark.

Here is the startup script:

Code: Select all

START C:\totalcmd\TOTALCMD64.EXE

TIMEOUT /T 2 >NUL

START "C:\Program Files\TextPad 7\TextPad.exe" "c:\textpad\workspaces\Mark's Presets Cookbooks.tws"

TIMEOUT /T 2 >NUL

START C:\VMs\Mint18\Mint18.vbox
I'm actually markfilipak (which somehow became 'markfilipak2', then 'abcdefgh'). I've been here since 15 Jul 2012 but lost my name during the great shift to SSO (single sign-on) during 2017, and have not been able to recover it.
