Hi, and thanks for the replys,

I sidestepped the issue, here is a workaround.

I have a program called "WinBatch" from WindowWare (old copy)

I simply wrote a small batch file that looks for the windows and closes them, thus:

Code:

WinError = "pdftohtml.exe"
calError = "Conversion Error"

:checkloop
if WinExist(WinError) then sendkeysto(WinError,"D")
if WinExist(calError) then sendkeysto(calError,"~")
delay(3)
goto checkloop

dwanthny:
One of the popups is from Windows saying...

pdftohtml crashed and needs to close...

and as kovidgoyal reports, yes, the program halts till I get rid of that Windows popup.

The second popup reads "Conversion Error" "Failed: convert book nn of xx (title of book)"

It looks like the conversion halts during this message too.

kovidgoyal:

Thanks, I do have an Ubuntu system, maybe I will try to install Calibre there to test.

Mark.
