Does anyone know where the setting is for the default location for message boxes?
Some video drivers (mostly for multiple monitor systems) have an override for the requested placement of stuff like message boxes and attempt to center the message boxes in the application.
However WinBatch is running down in the task bar as an icon. And if the video driver tries to re-center the message box on that, well, it is not in a very viewable place.
To test this add
BoxOpen("Hi","There")to the top of your script and test again. Does it work now?
You may wish to investigate various setting in the control panel that control this behavior. Sometimes you can "opt out" of this auto re-center activity on a program by program basis
There have been a few multi monitor bug fixes over the years but I know of none that effect the functions in question. The functions you are using should just default to displaying on the primary monitor.
There must be something unique about your setup that is causing this problem. It could have something to do with how secondary monitors are placed in relation to the primary monitor or perhaps a device driver problem.
You might try using IntControl 63 to change the positioning of the "ask" dialogs and report back any settings that make those dialogs viewable on your system.
