I've heard of this once b4!  Try changing the drive.

Instead of:

:A 

Cls 

echo MESSENGER 

set /p n=User: 

set /p m=Message: 

net send %n% %m% 

Pause 

Goto A 



Try:

:C 

Cls 

echo MESSENGER 

set /p n=User: 

set /p m=Message: 

net send %n% %m% 

Pause 

Goto C

Changing the letter doesn't change the drive.



For example it can be what is given....

--------------------------------

:A 

Cls 

echo MESSENGER 

set /p n=User: 

set /p m=Message: 

net send %n% %m% 

Pause 

Goto A

--------------------------------



or.....



--------------------------------



:start

Cls 

echo MESSENGER 

set /p n=User: 

set /p m=Message: 

net send %n% %m% 

Pause 

Goto start

---------------------------------



The colon followed by a word (for example :begin) is a checkpoint for the batch file.

The goto command is used to go to that checkpoint (to go the ":begin" checkpoint, type "goto begin" - or in other words take away the colon).



Hope that makes sense!

Since i see the responses and don't see anyone answering your question....you will have to find and download a program that will allow you to use dos to send messages as Vista does NOT allow the Net Send messages. Sorry.
