I use several batch files on my USB drive. One starts Pstart and mounts a TC drive. When I exit PStart the other unmounts the TC drive, kills any processes that might be running off the drive and unmounts the USB drive.
On my XP SP1 PC at work all is fine. But on my XP SP2 PC at home the batch files freeze on the TC commands to mount/unmount. If I kill the cmd window (killing the TC) command, the TC drive does eventually showup/go away.
The mount command is
\TrueCrypt\truecrypt.exe /v p:\TrueCrypt\truecrypt /lQ /q
and the unmount command is
\TrueCrypt\truecrypt.exe /dQ /q
Any idea why it's hanging on me at home?

They process bat files allowing/disallowing running bat files

have MS Defender installed at home. The batch files run fine up to TC command. I'll have to check the MSD settings though or maybe diable it and see what happens.
Turns out the problem was Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall. This is the second program that's had problems with Kerio. I uninstalled it and sent back to ZA Free and all is well.
