oops, god that must appear intellignt. Maybe why this script doesn't work...
here ya go :p
-----------------------------------------------------------Const gstrTitle = "The pause that refreshes!"
Dim wshShell, intDelay

set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
intDelay = InputBox("Enter seconds to wait before " _
& "calculator pops up.", _
gstrTitle)
WScript.Sleep intDelay * 1000
WshShell.Run "calc"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Hope y'all find that more useful.

Oxy,

Wscript.sleep is not support in an ASP page. You have to use a timer function "setTimeout".

Thanx for the suggestion, but it's not for an ASP page.
It's jut for a .vbs script file.

any further help would be great! :p

Oxy,

Earlier versions of VBScript did not support Wscript.Sleep. I had the same problem. I suggest you get the latest off Microsoft's web site.
