Ah, alright. So, then, what, nothing happens at all? Do you have antivirus
software installed with script-blocking enabled? And you're sure those
lines are executing?

msgbox "About to create"
Set sh = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
msgbox "Created? Vartype is " & VarType(sh)
sh.run "D:\Games\bf1942\BF1942.exe"
msgbox "Should have run."
Set sh = nothing
msgbox "sh is now nothing"
