Hi J,
If you cannot execute in a shell, do a phpinfo(), and find the following
settings:
safe_mode = On or Off
and
safe_mode_exec_dir =
Is safe_mode maybe On, and is your mask.exe not listed in
safe_mode_exec_dir?
If so, you know why you cannot execute mask.exe.
Read more here: http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php
Bottomline: Talk with your hosting provider. If they do not cooperate,
switch hosting provider or do not use mask.exe.
Regards,
