paul Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Has anyone seen this before? From time to time when running MEP macros (and by no means every time I run a macro), I get 6 error messages which I have to dismiss by clicking on OK for each: SetPrefString: Error writing to preferences: SetPrefString (this appears twice) SetPrefInteger: Error writing to preferences: SetPrefInteger (this also appears twice) SetPrefBinaryProc: Error reading binary from preferences: SetPrefBooleanProc ClosePref: Error: ClosePref I do have full read/write access to the HKCU Macro Express 4 key and all its subkeys and values.

terrypin Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 That must be one of the few errors I haven't had, so can't help I'm afraid. Anyway, I'm still using XP Pro. Based on my own experience of obscure intermittent errors with ME Pro, one guess wouold be a timing issue. If so, almost impossible to pin down unless a clear association emerges with some other process occurring around the same time. Sometimes a hitherto reliable macro will suddenly either fail to run, generate errors, or crash. Although occasionally I've apparently fixed such issues by adding (or increasing) delays. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said these error messages are not macro error messages, they seem to be directly from Macro Express Professional itself. They are occurring about once in 3 macro executions, and they appear for any macro. I have reinstalled MEP, but this had made no difference. I'm hoping someone from Insight will read this and comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Yes I have many times but it's always reading preferences. I reported it to ISS some time ago as a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yes I have many times but it's always reading preferences. I reported it to ISS some time ago as a bug. I assume these are the preferences that are stored in the registry? I know my machine has a few problems at the moment, none of which I have been able to resolve. This is why I'm currently busy working on a complete reinstall. And it's so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 That was my guess but I'm not certian. I do use the reg in my macros so I don't know if it's MEPs access or if it's coming from my macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These macros are centuries old, and I've never seen these errors until very recently. And it happens with any macro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
