absolutely amazing game, although I've never been very good at it. I used to play quite a bit of 13x13 and 9x9 on itsyourturn.com. 21x21 just blows my mind; far too strategic for me at that scale!

I have found the error. And it is not related to the code that I have given. For anyone who encounters the same mistake, here is my experience: Since I use the POWERPNT.EXE in my previous operations, the Process for this executable is not properly disposed thats why I can still see the POWERPNT.EXE in my TaskManager/Processes tab. (This happens before the code in above posts is executed.) Thats why when my code executes it seems that it cannot attach itself to POWERPNT.EXE. When I managed to dispose POWERPNT.EXE process before executing the code, everything worked just fine. :cool: Thanks for help guys, Regards Always keep the Murphy Rules in mind!

it's working for me, strange event is triggered when I first press left or right and for all buttons. I don't know "why", sorry

The reason you use \\ is because \ is used to escape characters, for example, \" is how you put a quote. You have another option: @"c:\Program Files\Atalasoft\DotImage 6.0" will work fine, the @ means that \ means \. The \\ actually is turned into \ in your final string ( although the debugger will show \\ ). So, if you pass a parameter, it should be a single \, because \\ is in fact how you tell the compiler to emit a single \, if you've not put @ at the front of the string.
