Cory Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 To be clear, if you terminate MEP, the keyboard shortcuts in Outlook are responsive again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acantor Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Could you show us the script that is executing slowly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Is the Ctrl+k being 'typed' from a macro? Or are you saying that you're experiencing this when you manually type Ctrl+k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 How slow is slow? 1/4 second response, 4 second response, what? Also, when Macro Express is running, are there any long-running macros or resource-intensive macros that could be sucking up processor time? With ME running, if you go into Windows Task Manager, can you see any processes using a lot of resources -- CPU, disk, memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acantor Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 1. Review all of your Macro Express scripts and see if any are triggered by Ctrl + K. You are looking for a conflict with the built in Outlook command. (I didn't know anybody else used Ctrl + K in the To and CC fields other than me! (K stands for "komplete" the address!) 2. Are you running any other macro scripting programs like AutoHotkey? 3. Try a total shutdown of Windows. Not a log off, but a shutdown.

Samrae Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would check your internet security software. Windows Defender was causing this exact error some time ago. At times Norton Internet Security does that today. Also, what version of Macro Express are you using? Sometimes certain issues are fixed by updating to the latest version.
