  1. Well, I've gotten around this problem with one of my favorite solutions--SHAREWARE---I found a nifty folder browsing program called Universal Explorer for 39 bucks that gets the job done and doesn't disable ME. I think there's definately some sort of security measure in XP that needs to be disabled in order for me to run macros with a windows folder open, but I just haven't found it. No matter--I'm off and running! Thanks, Gov
  2. <Is there a message displayed when the macro stops?> No, absolutely no message, warning, or crash of any kind. All I'm capturing are mouse moves and clicks. I am able to capture mouse moves and clicks involving programs, and even do browsing and alteration of files within a program (such as excel or word)--but the moment ANY windows folder outside of a program is opened, either on the desktop or elsewhere, all capture stops. In addition, if a windows folder is open and a macro is initiated, NOTHING happens...as though it was not even intiated at all. No error log is created from such an attempt. No crashes result either. If I close the windows folder, macros work again, no troubles. This problem is so fundamental that, when I realized no one else was experiencing it, I upgraded XP to service pack 2, uninstalled and then reinstalled ME, and then tried again with same results. I also made sure nothing was in the startup area or odd background programs running. I've been researching a bit about automation security within windows---perhaps I need to figure out how to disable automation security. Regards Gov
  3. This seems like a simple or common problem, but I can't find any other posts about it. I'm running ME on windows XP, and find that macros won't run if any windows folders are open. If I am in the middle of a capture, the capture stops the moment I open any windows folder. No crashes or error messages--just immediate stoppage. Gov
