dialog failures / firefox clipboard clash?

Has anyone else had issues with MS showing errors like "unable to create dialog" ?? I think they are memory related, however I've had some issues with macros seeming to skip chunks when the system is low on memory

Also I've got a weird bug where when I have MS open, and Firefox, I cant cut/copy out of Firefox into any other application.. when I close MS, its fine.. and MS isnt running any macro or have CTRL C as a hotkey. Copying between other programs while Firefox/MS are loaded dont have any problems copying..

WinXP SP2..

The only time I would expect to get "unable to create dialog" is if you try to create a dialog that already exists - has already been created. E.g. if you have a Dialog> block inside a loop, so try to recreate that dialog more than once, or have a subsequent Dialog> block where the dialog name is the same as a previous one, or you branch back to a point before the Dialog> block and try to create the dialog again while it still exists. Hence why I advise all Dialog> blocks to exist, once, right at the very top of the script before any other processing.

I run firefox as my main browser, so it's running all the time. Macro Scheduler is also running all the time. I've never had a problem copying from firefox to the clipboard.

Thanks for the reply.

I'd like to get to the bottom of this clipboard issue. Has caused a lot of frustration.

With the dialog.. i have to put a dialog towards the top of the macro after it performs some actions which stop the script from being inturrupted, cant really explain. I'll try to get more info next time it occurs.
