fug5333 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I spent hours on making some macros. The main difference is that I transfered them from a Windows XP machine to a Windows 7 machine. Would that make a difference? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fug5333 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Text Type: <DELETE> That's it. :/ It does nothing as if I never hit a key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 What you are using it for? Deleting the character to the right of the insertion point in a text editor? Deleting an email message or a file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 What version of Macro Express are you using? Macro Express v 3.7d was the first version certified to work on Windows 7. We recommend you download and install the latest version. As I write this the latest version is Macro Express v 3.8a. Next, make sure that the 'Use Text Type delay' found in Options, Preferences, Delays, is enabled and set to a minimum of 300 microseconds. If you continue to have trouble, try setting this to 1000 microseconds. Finally, under Windows 7 programs can be Run As Administrator. A program that is not running as administrator cannot send mouse clicks or keystrokes to a program that is. In general, most programs, including Macro Express, should not be set to Run As Administrator on Windows 7. But, if you are trying to use macros on a program that is, you will need to run Macro Express As Administrator. Note that Windows 7 complains when loading Macro Express when Windows starts if it is set to run as Administrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fug5333 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 It's by far easier for me to keep one hand on the keyboard and one hand on the mouse. The activation for simply hitting the delete key is alt+right mouse. This is just one of the 40 or so macros that are not working. Very new to Windows 7. How do I run ME3 under Administrator? I'm running ME3.8a(3.8.1.1). Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fug5333 Posted September 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm having the same issue with ME Pro as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrgreenman Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I'm also having pretty major migration issues (mostly setting focus to windows) going from XP and Win7. But so as not to be off-topic , "Text Type <DELETE>" is one of the things that's actually working for me on Win 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
