Sebastian42 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Recently a Macro Express icon has been appearing in the Task Bar - and also the error message as in the appended pic. When I close the error message, the Macro Express icon disappears from the Task Bar. So I infer that something about the workings of Macro Express has offended Windows. How can I prevent the error message from appearing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Random thoughts: It sounds like something is corrupt, do a memory test. Perform a ScanDisk. Do a SFC. Ensure you have the most recent version of MEP, 6.1.3.1. Maybe reinstall it. Contact ISS support. You can try running MEP as an administrator, but I doubt it will make a difference. Temporarily disable and security software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 What is your macro doing? Perhaps disable parts of the offending macro to determine which part of it is causing the error. If you don't know which macro is running, then enable logging. Also you can look at the last run time in the Macro Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian42 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 Cory - I know which macro runs when that happens. I had recently added 'Terminate Macro Express' at the end; adding a sufficiently long delay before that, stops the error from showing.

Cory Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Interesting. It sounds like it's trying to terminate MEP before it's ready. It sounds like a bug. Please send ISS a bug report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian42 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I found 'Configure bug report' in the Options menu, but clicking on that produced no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Please visit our Report a Bug page. Or, from the Macro Express Explorer window, click Help, Support, Report a Bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 There is known issue with the Terminate Process command when running on Windows 10. This issue has been fixed and will be included in the next release of Macro Express 5 and Macro Express Pro 6. If you would like a test version of Macro Express containing the fix let us know via our Report a Bug page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
