So let me get this straight.

In the first instance, FrontDoor is loading Maximus/2? And in the second 
instance you're just running Maximus/2? normally?

The only issue I can see is that it states "Communications driver not properly 
installed", so is there a difference in the way you're executing Maximus/2 from 
the command line versus executing it from FrontDoor? Should you be adding 
something (ie: in a batch file) that pre-loads your fossil driver before 
passing off to Maximus/2 from FrontDoor?

Regards,
Nick
