Meanderthal Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I know it's a miracle 3.x works at all in Windows 8, but it was going fine for me. I have to set it to 'run as administrator' in the compatibility tab for it to work in Windows 8 at all. My macros that involve text-typing into forms such as gmail messages and in Visual Studio 2012 in particular, they run but nothing happens. Probably some 'security' feature in Windows 8.1 update. I was wondering if anyone has the same problem with their Macros Express Pro on Windows 8.1? Been thinking about upgrading for awhile now anyway.I'm running version 3.7.01 because of a problem with sending file attachements in email that I had with newer versions of 3x.

Meanderthal Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I got it working by going into the Macro Express shortcut properties and changing it to run in XP sp3 compatibility mode and UN-checking 'Run as Administrator' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to give up on ME after years of using it, tried your solution and now it's working like a champ. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samrae Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have heard or read that the issue is with IE 11. Another fix is to turn off Protected Mode in IE 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
