Error Launching Application from Access

I'm trying to launch another application from my switchboard but I get an
error message that says: "Unable to retrieve information from identification
file!"

I'm using:

Shell "C:\Monitor4\msf.EXE", vbNormalFocus

I can successfully launch the Windows calculator (and other Windows built-in
applications) using similar code but this program gives me an error every
time. (This program is also Windows based)

Can someone tell me what this error means and how I can correct the problem?

I'm running Access 2000 in Windows 95.

At a guess I would think this question is better directed to people who know
about msf.exe, whatever it is.
