Batch start command not opening program

When I enter the following from a command prompt: 

start myprog.exe

It opens the program in a command window, but it doesn't start the actual program itself.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong with this?

try this:

start /b "" "myprog.exe"

See start /? for more help.

You don't need START just have myprog.exe, make sure that the program can be found. Put the directory for it in the PATH environment variable if necessary.

If you want to continue processing more commands in the batch file use the /B switch for START, see syntax here Microsoft DOS start command.
