Welcome to the forums.

More information please.

Is this happening on all PCs running your program or just on one?

How do you know a program "cancelled" your program? What evidence do you have that this is the case?

first of all, thank you for welcoming me.

i used a msgbox to know the turning value from the process. i had read that from a book that was written in my country where said that if the process fails, the turning value is 0. and there was an explanation saying that its cause of a program runs in pc. the program worked for 1-2 times in my pc. but no longer. it only shuts the all programs running, but not the pc

Can you post the code you are using and tell us what OS you are using?

[muurtee]

codes are completely running. by the way i wrote another batch file in DOS to do same process but its not working also. i mean it works same as this api

I thought the codes weren't running, in other words the PC isn't closing. If we don't see the code or get some more information, it's very hard to guess what the problem is...
