/b and /wait are both command line parameters to 'Start' (if you type 'start /?' at the command prompt you'll see them listed along with about a dozen others).

You would type
You don't replace the 'sleep' with 'wait' - the wait switch is simply used to ensure one task is completed before the next one begins, because start fires up a new thread each time it is called. By using /wait it will run each 'start' command line to completion before it reaches the 'sleep' line, rather than firing up the first command, waiting 5 seconds and then firing up the next... there is a big difference if you think about it.

tbh you don't really want to be using 'start' here - especially if it's asking for message box confirmation from the user. (Sorry I don't know how nTune works exactly).

So i have to use /wait in conjunction with Start

Adding start /b /wait infront of each "c:\users..." made it not work. I have the commands listed in chronoligcal order so being a bacth file it should execute the commands in the order they appear? Anyhow it seems to work with just:

"directory"
sleep 5

Although, i doubt it is actually "sleeping" for 5 seconds before it tries to launch the next .nsu file.

Actually it does, doing it that way will parse through the commands one at a time. It will not continue to the next one until the previous one has been completed.

By "that way" are you refering to start /b /wait "directory" sleep 5 or "directory" sleep 5.

I am currently using just "directory" sleep 5 because it works and start /b /wait made it not work (so i obviously did something wrong) But hey, 2 or 3 days after posting i now have this batch file that makes using my overclock possible, without fear of crashing the OS or blue screening. I also did i nice little reverse overclock bat file too to bring it back down to stock from OC.

Once again many thanks! and + rep for all your help.

... i have never tried to use python before, but wouldnt it be able to run a seperate program that will press the button for you? Since its being lauched it would have focus on that, and all that needs to be pressed is spacebar.

BIG EDIT:

Oh and i got the blue screen "hardware error" message again... I guess the OS doesn't like the FSB jumping around alot when it's running. I am goign to save this OC just for benchmarks till i can get a MOBO that allows OCing via BIOS, so running it minimized/at startup/getting rid of the 48 pop up messages doesn't apply anymore.

Thanks for all your help anyway.
