I am completely unable to get Macro Recorder to work at all, even with the simplest of test procedures, namely open Notepad and then immediately close it (without entering any text). Here is my procedure:
1. Open Macro Scheduler and press "Record".
2. Enter a macro name, "Test".
3. Set the stop hotkey to Ctrl-Alt-E (or anything else for that matter, see below).
4. Enable "Run this app..." and enter "Notepad"
5. Press "Start" button
6. Notepad appears
7. Enter "Alt-F" and then "X" on the keyboard.
8. Notepad closes
9. Press Ctrl-Alt-E, Ctl-Alt-Y, Ctrl-Alt-S, Shift-Esc, or any other hotkey I entered on the initial record macro window.
At this point (a) nothing happens, (b) the original "record macro" window reappears ready to start recording a new macro, or (c) maybe some other things happen too (I can't remember) but at any rate the macro recording never seems to end in what seems like a way you would expect it to.
In all cases the Macro Scheduler icon in the system tray is blinking red/blue. The only way to stop this is to exit Macro Scheduler. From all indications, the macro recording either never started or I could not get it to stop.
Ever since spending $135 on Macro Scheduler and Web Recorder, absolutely NOTHING that I try to do with it has ever gone smoothly and in most cases has not worked at all, and I have given up. I have become incredibly frustrated with it.
Please help! Steve

Odd. Did you get this problem with the evaluation version (I presume not, or you wouldn't have purchased it)? Have you always had this problem?
Which operating system are you using? Which exact version of Macro Scheduler are you running?
