cannot locate .exe window...

ok guys..
i'll try posting this here and see if i get an answer.....

when i run my .exe with shellexecute.. i did not think it was running..i brought up the task manager, and it was indeed running. the problem is, is that there is no window with it in there. it usually runs in a dos type window...

I am using it on XP, 2000, and NT...
-----------------------------------
x = ShellExecute(0, "Open", progdir, " -game tfc" & " -port " & portnum & " +map " & mapuse, GamePath, SW_SHOW)

Do: Loop Until FindWindow("tty", "HLDS")
lhWnd = FindWindow("tty", "HLDS")

MainForm.SSTab1.Tab = 3
MainForm.Picture6.Visible = False

End Function
[/Highlight]

-----------------------------
any ideas ?

thanks,
kevin rea
