again for the passphrase. When I re-enter it, it times out and says "Error

<BR><BR>here is a file with the same contents as the batch file I use to run
MCNPX. The executable line is on line 8. As you can see, the path to all
executables is on that line. In addition, the path to MCNPX is set as an
environmental variable. The machine has 12 cores, and the batch file is in the
directory that has the input file. There is a different message when MCNPX
cannot find an input file, this error says: <BR><BR>Launch process failed. The
system cannot find the file specified <BR><BR>I thank you for your assistance

I'm trying everything I can in order to run MCNPX in the MPI version. Whenever
I try to launch MPI I constantly get denied access. I have a 12 core
processor, and it fails to launch 12 times, each with an error message about
not having access. <BR><BR>Would you be amenable to looking at my batch file?
