Hey ppl,...
i like the scripting on this program and have grasped most of the basics however... i am running on Windows XP pro and for sum reason every time i activate any macro what so ever (even the preset ones) the mouse starts jumping around all over the screen except where i want it to go.

thx for the help

Hi,

Can you give us an example of a script that this happens to? Do you have mouse commands in this script? Please send a script so that we can determine what is wrong.

Lol i'm having the same problem.. I've got win98se and i'm trying to run the same macro (in Helbreath crusade window) and the click's don't register. The script works on XP but jumps around as you say, but i just keep running it and stopping it and eventually it stays still ..

The only problem is that on the machine i currently use it's got win98SE and the press F4 command works, and the wait but it just doesn't CLICK !!!!!!!!!!!! i've tried Lclick too instead of Ldown/Lup and that doesn't work either

Hmmm, is it just me, or does this look just like the previous topic?

I removed the final Goto>start command and single stepped through with some strange cursor movements. If I set the mouse on a different window in center of screen, then used keyboard to single step in Macro Scheduler editor, I had no problems, but the focus kept jumping, which is normal. When you LDown or Lup, the focus will change to the last window that had the mouse focused.

I think that the problem may be the lack of a SetFocus> command. and the length of the Wait command. Eliminate the Waits, if possilbe. And what does F4 do? It will depend on which window has the focus when that is executed.

I know this was probably not a solution, but just extra input to help out.

(Testing was done Using WIN98SE and Macro Scheduler 7.2.041)
