Q: Batch Scripts Will not run on some Windows 7 systems Any ideas why bat files don't run in some cases?
I have written an interactive batch script (also run as an exe) works on THOUSANDS of systems,  HOWEVER, a small subset of systems will NOT launch the script. They open a black box window and then close the script without giving the user the bat menu.  I tried the bat file association registry reset which ensures that .bat file association is correct but that didn't help. 
What I have tried: bat registry fix (.reg file)
(which didn't seem to help, the script starts but doesn't run)
(I also tested a VERY basic script that printed Hello world which also didn't work)

A: Thanks everyone for your help.  What I found out was:
(1) Reset the command prompt:

(which did not work for me)
(2) In a command prompt I had the users type 'set path' which showed that they were missing /windows/system32/ for one user. So far I had one user put it in and it fixed it. One other user had %systemroot%/system32 which I will have them try adding the path the other way to see if it fixes it. Next I will see if I can just add that to the script.
