start.bat problem

[Julesx]

I've followed the guide to the tee i've check the forums reapeatedly and i'm getting frustrated so forgive my ignorance if this is a simple fix but i'm stuck.
Everytime i use my start.bat extention to patch to world servers the first screen pops up and is gone in flash and i get the second window that says...
Wait for world to finish loading... Press enter when done.
Press any key to continue...
When i do i get a blank dos screen and thats it i've waited 3 hours still not connecting. I've checked and rechecked everything and still can't patch to world server i assume. Others on forum have had same problem but i can't seem to figure out how they solved it from all the posts on forums maybe i'm stupid or some but its just got me stumped. If anyone could give me a step by step way to fix this i would greatly appericate it.
Oh yea i check my logs and i get
