TsunamiZ Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I sometimes have a problem with Macro Express not releasing the CTRL key after performing a macro that uses CTRL+key. So when the CTRL key gets stuck in the down state like this, I have to manually press the CTRL key again to fix it. The macro does complete, however. This can also happen to other keys such as ALT / SHIFT. Anyone else have this problem? Using Macro Express 3.7c, but happened in 3.6, too. I'm on WinXP, Athlon64 4000+, 3GB ram.

blopib Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I usually use Ctrl+(some key) to start my macros and I've never experienced anything like you describe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 maybe it occurs during high cpu usage because i experience this problem quite often when im running a 3d game and using a text type macro that is hotkey with ctrl+key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Macro Express sends messages to Windows to release the control keys after the Alt, Control, Shift or Win key have been pressed, however, Windows is not always in a position to receive these messages. We have found that it is sometimes best to issue an Alt Up, Shift Up, etc... at the end of a macro if these keys have been used in the macro.
