  1. Well I have been runing the new version for several weeks now and it does seem to have fixed the issue. Many Thanks Development People
  2. I am hoping that I have managed to track down how I get the issue and it seems to do with the macro that I have that looks for a window title. I have a macro that looks for the window title of "Downloads" and then fires off the macro and sort the relevant extensions into the relevant folders. If I have for example Microsoft Word or iTunes or BBC iPlayer open and open the downloads folder vis the task bar quick link the marco then fires off creates a second mexprox64 process and the system then goes. The same also happens if I just open explorer whilst these apps are open and the watch for folder macro is triggered. So to test this theory at the end of the macro I told it to restart ME once it has finished to see if it would stop the system from at least slowing down. It correctly fired off the macro and then restarted ME but I noticed that for some reason it was restarting ME constantly without me doing anything and then eventually crashed with a ntdll.dll error. I then disabled this macro and tried to recreate the error by having those apps open and trying a different macro that was not watching for a window name for example a clipboard one and that did not seem to cause any issues. So I enabled the watch folder macro again and did the same and straight away it caused the issue ? Perhaps people could try that to see if they have that issue the macro is below or perhaps its the macro itself. Which ever it is I have turned it off and dont use the find window option at the moment. ----------Download Sort Macro------------ <TEXT BOX DISPLAY Title="Bug Tracker"

  3. well turning off the clipboard catching has not worked as today it did the normal and locked up the machine until killing the ME process. I just wish I could replicate this so at least I could make sure I can avoid it and then give the developers a clue. Mind you this time I had word open and after killing the ME process word then fell over aswell ? I am just getting frustrated with it at the moment.
  4. Cory - You are indeed correct it is Marvin the Paranoid Andriod I just love Hitch Hikers ever since I heard the Radio broadcast years and years ago. Then the TV Series that was great. And I quite like the film to even though there is loads missing. Back to the problem I agree that its not always a single program thats causing the issue but a clash of programs. I shall try disabling the clipboard hook for a while but I have a few macros that use it so this will be an annoyance. I agree that perhaps ME could do some further coding to check if clipboard hook is getting heavy hits and pause it or something. At least we could then test it and see if it improved. But for now I shall disable the clipboard hook which sort of in a way cripples half the application for what I was using it for.
  5. It appears to have been an issue with macro express and this whole locking up issue I seem to be having. Once I had shutdown macro express as other macros where not working like the capture clipboard macro I had. I then reopened macro express and it was now only opening a single instance of explorer and the clipboard capture function was also working again. Perhaps I should create a macro the restarts Macro Express every few hours to see if it sorts it out ?
  6. Well I killed a few other programs when it first happened thinking it might have been them. But it still did not unfreeze until I killed the Macro Express processes meprox64 and macexp So I will make the assumption it was the Macro express software
  7. I have a very basic script that watches the clipboard for "C:\" and then will open that directory in explorer <VARIABLE SET STRING Option="\x02" Destination="%txtFileNameClip%"/> <OPEN FOLDER IN EXPLORER Path="%txtFileNameClip%"/> But why is this opening multiple explorer windows ?
  8. Well It happened again. I guess it is something to do with keyboard shortcuts as it only seems to happen when I have been using other applications shortcut keys. I have the "Auto Restore the keyboard and mouse hooks" off in the hope that it was this that was the problem but it made no difference today. Is there anyway to make Macro Express ignore all shortcut keys as I don't really use them and it might help to determine if in fact it is keyboard shortcuts that are the issue.
  9. Yes I could see thebat processing email in the background whilst the rest of the pc was somewhere I hope there is a fix I don't want to feel that it could lock up anytime.
  10. I read on the groups somewhere about the system not responding. I am having this issue with the latest version where there is no processor activity but yet the system is not responding very quickly. After hitting ctrl + shift + ESC to bring up task manager and then killing both the meprox64.exe and macexp.exe my system to returns to normal. I then am unable to execute macro express again as it just kills the machine as before. I have to do a reboot for me to be able to open macro express again. I was wondering if this is still an issue for people Windows 7 64bit Macro Express 4.1.5.1
  11. Ok thank you for the reply I will use proper variable names and so on when I get stuck into it. I just wanted to try and see if I could do what I wanted to do.
  12. Ok I think I may have cracked this I was just wondering if someone could check it over and tell me if there is a better way to do it. <REPEAT WITH FOLDER Path="C:\\Users\\user\\Downloads\\" OnlyFiles="TRUE" Destination="%Exe Name%" FullPath="TRUE" ProcSubfolders="FALSE"/> <VARIABLE SET FROM FILE Filename="%Exe Name%" Option="\x01" Extension="%file_extension%" Expand="FALSE" Flags="\x08"/> <IF VARIABLE Variable="%file_extension%" Condition="\x00" Value=".exe" IgnoreCase="FALSE"/> <WAIT FOR FILE TO BE READY Filename="%Exe Name%" Time="10" Indefinite="TRUE" Hours="0" Minutes="0" Seconds="0"/> <MOVE FILE/FILES Source="%Exe Name%" Dest="C:\\Users\\user\\Downloads\\EXE Files\\" Progress="FALSE" Recurse="FALSE"/> <END IF/> <END REPEAT/>
  13. I have just downloaded and am wanting to create a macro that will monitor a download file. I am using the Dir Events on the folder. I then used the move file. The problem I have is if its a large file it tries to copy it before its ready. I then found the "wait for file to be ready option" but I don't know how to get the exe file name for the file or files being downloaded into the the download folder. I found on the forum that using the "Repeat with folder" can get a list of files but I don't know how to then filter out the relevant extension file for example *.exe I have done a search of the forum but have not found what I needed.
