pls help with auto logon trouble!

[aschiro]

I have a macro here that runs fine when I am logged in and hit run, but when I schedule it to be done overnight it gets stuck somewhere in the first couple lines. Seems weird that the task manager window is present too when I arrive the next day. This script is used to erase a CDRW in drive E and then write/backup files onto it again every day. I get a window opened to E:\ and the task manager open, but that is all - no files deleted (the alt f a commands) or written . The auto-logon seems to work ok. 'ere she is:

ExecuteFile>E:\
WaitWindowOpen>E:\
SetFocus>E:\
Press ALT
Release ALT
Send Character/Text>fa
WaitWindowOpen>CD Writing Wizard
SetFocus>CD Writing Wizard
Send Character/Text>n
Wait>300
Press Tab
Press Enter

*please note the wait commands in the last few lines were a bit experimental and probly not necessary

thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi,

Is Windows locked, or logged out when this macro is scheduled?

Have you enabled the Scheduler Service (Tools/Options - Keep Scheduling in Exit)?

How is AutoLogon set up?

whoops, looks like I was blind on this one - just upgraded to new version to get the auto logon & when I enabled it I didn't read the note at the bottom that says it will not work with welcome screen, only the classic-style logon. so, that fixed my main problem, now I only need to work out some other issues I've dealt with before to get this puppy fully workin'. When I went to check the auto-logon setup I saw the note - thanks for lending an ear!
