Are you sure about that code? <eg>

<cmd_output OS="XPsp3">
E:\>set /a c = 0x96
150
E:\>net helpmsg %c%

System trace information was not specified in your CONFIG.SYS file, or tracing is disallowed.
</cmd_output>

I haven't seen CONFIG.SYS used since Win95 days...
and don't know how one would specify a system trace anyway. ; )
Perhaps it could be an oblique reference to the event logs?
E.g. are they full and not wrappable?


In which log? For which Event Source? How were you filtering?

In any case it looks as if you would need to provide more detail
if this was especially relevant. (Looks more like a summary symptom
to me.)

Did you look for the decimal equivalent of the last half of
the hex codes that you are really getting too?



Remotely? No. Otherwise I would try using ProcMon
to supplement whatever diagnostics that you are getting.


Good luck
