Hello,

I wanted to automate an application connecting to the internet via UMTS modem to different providers. There is only one application which can manage all the drivers and its very simple to use for human. I tried to get rectange checksum and pixelcolor to wait for proper info appearing on the app, but the results where very strange, like the macro sheduller didnt see the application, but the desktop background.

I made several a snaphots (printscreen) and to my supprise - there was no sign of that application even on printscreen!! How is this possible? How can i repair this? I tried to capture what i see but i cant find any way to do so.
My system: WinXP Home

Please help

Which version of Macro Scheduler are you running? Until 10.016 the screen capture/image recognition commands couldn't see "layered windows". But support for layered windows was added in 10.016:

Perhaps this was your issue.
