I like this program and it has worked great, have been able to create artificially intelligent macros that can do lots of stuff. Last year some were running that had an up time of days it seemed like... maybe.
Has anyone encountered this issue:
After long periods of time (+8 hours) macro express stops doing anything, but the "macro is running" icon still apears on the start bar. Even if te editor is up, the macro stop button wont do anything, nor can any other macros be started. Its like the program wasnt up at all. When I move the mouse to the running macro icon it disapears, similar to all phantom programs that have stopped working. Din't have this problem last year it seems.
The macro runs on for hours doing it's thing perfectly.. then something happens
Suspected causes:
-) another program is interfering, as sometimes the main application that macro express works with is booted to the desktop (like lots of windows stuff, virus scanners, zone alarm etc) which have been disabled on a test rig
-) using some different methods than before, these might lead to instabilities. Mainly having a funtion that assisgns a 1 or 0 to a variable depending if a certain screen is up, then having other functions call it at different times and looks at N# to see if yes or no. Don't want to give it up as it is really modular.
Edit * first post sucked as i was in a hurry
