challenge with ms doing crazy things

[csb72]

Perhaps you can help me figure out what is happening. Here is the script I am running:

Code: Select all

which I have used several times and it worked correctly. Then all of a sudden ... it no longer works. So, I played around with it and noticed that if I already had firefox open the ms script would open up another firefox window and work fine. If I did not have a firefox window opened before I ran the ms script it would stop between [Label>open_firefox_browser] and [Label>click_address_bar]. ???

Then if I attempt to close the opened ms script that I am working on it immediately clears all fields (i.e. macro name and the script area) to look like a new macro does (you know the window that would show if I clicked on the new script (macro) button (or control + n)) and then freeze. At this point I am unable to close the opened ms script window.

So in order to close ms scheduler, I close firefox and clear my cache. I am then able to close ms scheduler.

I then start ms scheduler again and everything looks normal but if I attempt it again the same things happen.

Any ideas?

My thinking is that I should uninstall ms scheduler completely and then reinstall it.

Do you think that this could fix the challenge? If so, how do I uninstall ms completely?

Thank you and have a fantastic day!

P.S. I have adjusted the above script so that it does not go to the website or have the correct username or password. I already know that the script will work. I just don't understand why it is causing malfunctions with ms scheduler.

Please explain how I can simply uninstall Macro Scheduler completely.

before you go to the trouble of an uninstall/re-install. Are you running this script with the Editor window open? If you are, that would potentially interfere with your application (Firefox). You should close the editor and simply assign a hotkey to the macro or select RUN from the Macro Scheduler interface.

You should try using a WaitWindowOpen> to wait for firefox to open and SetFocus> before each screen interaction step of your script.

See if these changes help your script to be more reliable.[/u]
