what kind of programm do you try to start with your systemcall? If it's a perl script try starting it like this
system(wperl.exe, "myscript.pl");
This should avoid starting another window for your script.

All,
I use Perl with PERL2EXE a lot to compile my scripts, the problem is that if that script uses the SYSTEM call or even backticks, then the program fires off another command window to execute the external command. Is there any way to start third partly applications from within Perl without firing off another command window?
