Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware of the bypass when running the macro manually.
I have other macros that load with this file, but they are all manually activated. I assume that means they are not running?
The Scope seems to be right. You're right about the program. What happens is I'm running Sirius, which starts a player inside an Internet Explorer window. Macros Express identifies this as a valid program, so that's set as the program the macro runs within. The name does not change, But I'll shorten it to SIRIUS and see if that has an effect.
I do have "Play macro indefinitely" checked, and it has always been checked. The pop-up applies only to the player. As a comment, this is a stupid policy of Sirius to check every 90 minutes so its users "don't clog the Internet" (believe it or not, that's what one service tech said).
The pop-up always comes to the front of other windows, but in any case I have arranged most of the other program windows so that they don't obscure the part of the window I am recording (the artist/title section).
Oh, one more thing. Did you ever establish at what point the macro begins its countdown the 90-second point? Your comments seem to cast doubt over the use of running the macro manually. Would enabling the macro from a disabled state be the triggering action necessary?
Thanks again.
