Thanks for the reply. I should have not included that  first line, because it's simply a distraction. I did it right a few lines later when I removed the angular brackets and reran the command. But I left that line in when I cut and pasted. 

It would seem to me I did it right the second time because I was rewarded with this line in the code about half way down:

[/code]rr:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\dawn of war gold\\W40k.exe" failed, status c0000005 

It seemed to be trying to launch Dawn of War, which is what I was expecting it to do. Does anything in the code there tell one what might be going wrong? Why would winmm.dll fail to initialize? Is that important? I'm going to investigate that and see what I can find.

I'm at work right now for the next few days and away from my own computer. Thanks again.
