Have you tried adding the command line switches? ie. cmd.exe /c %windir%\system32\mplay32.exe /play /close %windir%\Media\chimes.wav

In fact I went so far as to copy the syntax word for word from the admin tool help! This is the syntax in the Run Process: C:\Software\I386\cmd.exe %windir%\system32\mplay32.exe %windir%\Media\chimes.wav As you can see from the log the string is translated correctly but it fails to play the sound - the error: Failed! <ACTL> Process: "C:\Software\I386\cmd.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\mplay32.exe C:\WINDOWS\Media\chimes.wav" <ACTL> **** Failed <ACTL> Return Code: 0l With that very useful error message I am at a loss to know what the problem is. Is there a better way to do this? Your help is as always greatly appreciated.
