Thank again for the reply. I can cinfirm the script works on my PC, and I have compiled it here and tranferred it to my other PC, Given the roblems that II have experienced I have bought a new PC specially to rum this script - the plan is that this is what it is used for, and so ther is almost no ex...

The above post referred to 'not using c as a variable'. The script then works fine on my computer - but still not on the other.

I do wish there was a menu driven way of using the video app. but there is not!

Thanks!

I have even tried manually reselecting the text using mouse movements - that works, but still the copy p...

Marcus, Thanks for the reply. I do think I am in the 0.1%! The OS in both cases is windows XP. I have written a short macro for Notepad, and even with no waits at all it works perfectly, as expected, on both computers. The second computer is a lot faster as well. I know the code is not brilliant - b...

Hi, I have successfully written a script that works on my computer. However, when I use it on another computer (also Windows XP) I find that though most of it works, SHift Del, and Shift Ins are not working. The log file records them as having been 'used' - but nothing actually happens. I have had a...
