I want to load 2 exes using dark basic is this possible e.g. I have a main program which loads the exes without the user having to run it manually?

I'm no expert on this but have you tried setting ALWAYS ACTIVE ON
I think you can only use that if it's in windowed mode though.
look it up

always active wasn't very useful it just keeps it always on I don't think it can run 2 at once I guess Better find some other way to do this maybe by using a .bat file

I think it's a limitation of DirectX rather than Dark Basic.
