Default Run Macro fails to launch "Run" command

I programmed a macro that go to "Start", "Run", then opens a program from command line. Once open and appropriate wait times completed, it closeds the program.
It runs successfully when I run it manually after recording. For some reason, though when I leave it to run on a schedule, it kicks off at the correct time, but never gets to the "Start", "Run" location properly, thus errors out because it never opens the "Run" window. If I leave the command window open, it works fine.

It seems like when it runs from the schedule, it loses its position on the screen, thus doesn't locate the "Start" menu and execute the "Run". Also, once it has failed in this manner, I can no longer run it manually either. It fails for the same reason.

Is it possibly something with the machine getting logged out and back in that might be causing it to lose its locational reference ? Any quick tips one could suggest to rectify this issue ?

Thanks,
chris
