I am getting the same error using

?>
"Warning: system(): Unable to fork [%COMSPEC% /c ver] in"...
PHP Version 4.3.2
System Windows NT QUARTZ 5.2 build 3790
Build Date May 28 2003 15:06:05

Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINDOWS\php.ini
this is with a hosting company. Is there another solution to running a
program (imagemagick)?

Hi,
<?
print system('%COMSPEC% /c ver');
?>
should work on Windows systems anywhere.
Please could you try that and confirm if it's still giving the same
error message?
PHP Folks: if it does, we could have the return of an ancient
popen/exec issue .. but it's working fine on win9x..
?

php -v :
PHP 4.3.2 (cgi-fcgi), Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies
phpinfo():

GATEWAY_INTERFACE : CGI/1.1
etc.

And what does 'php -v' output?
And what does phpinfo() has to say about the php version
under IIS?

Web-server: IIS 5
Both CGI and ISAPI installations produced following bug:
Code:
<?
print system('cmd ver');
?>
Result:
