coffent Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 A macro simplified to the following: Keystroke Speed: 50 milliseconds Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <DELETE> instead of doing what it's supposed to do, instead runs rapidly and repeatedly (about 10 times per second) without doing anything. I must finally abort the macro. If instead of "<DELETE>" an ordinary letter is substituted, the macro works correctly. Do others find the same problem?

Given your other reported problems, it sounds like either ME is not properly installed or there is some obscure conflict with another application or process. Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing ME and then running it with the bare minimum of other processes? Is there anything odd about the way you're activating this macro? Does it give same problem when run with F9 from Script Editor? Trivial though it is, I'd suggest you post the code of the malfunctioning macro. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffent Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks, Terry. I should have done it before, but I finally did thoroughly uninstall and reinstall ME Pro, and this and other problems I reported now seem to have gone away, hopefully for good!
