keystrokes dropped in windows 7

[Gary]

I am having 2 problems WMP. I bought it mainly for my laptop, but also put a copy on my home computer. My home computer is Vista and everything works fine on it, to the best of my knowledge. The laptop is brand new. With windows 7. I have set both computers to the exact same method of running the same macros, however allowing for the different mouse clicks.
I am running 5 windows with the exact same program, but with different login's. In vista this is not a problem, but in win 7, when the macro runs, it randomly jumps from one window to the other and around because all have the same name, I do have a way to rename the window to prevent it, but its a pain, because the spelling has to be EXACT for the macro to work.
Another problem which also seems confined to win7 is when I do a macro in full screen mode, in order to pull the windows where they can be seen, just requires a mouse over and the windows show, but in the macro the pull down does not appear and the clicks are just on nothing throwing everything off.
My BIGGEST problem is that in Win7 the macro records ok, but the keystrokes are all being dropped. In edit they are there, but in the macro it does nothing. I am using a mouse drag to highllight a number I no longer want then type over it, works fine in the recording, but the keystrokes dont work in the run. I am using the exact same method in Vista and it works fine. I have edited it manually several times even in a simple test mode with one line and still the keystroke is dropped. Is this a win7 problem.
I am running windows 7 premium home edition, 64 bit.
I have also tried changing compatability mode with no effect.

Hello,

Regarding your queries,

1) If the window titles are same then try using currently active window title to ensure actions would be performed in active window only.

Few points to consider,

. Before playing back the macro, Workspace Macro Pro resizes the window to the size it was while recording to ensure all the activities are performed reliably. Hence before recording your macro set the window to the required size and then record the macro again.

. The mouse clicks are dependant on window size, position and screen resolution. So, what we suggest is, keep the window in one size and position where you want to when you enter any keystroke/mouse actions in it so that when the macro is run again, it will be in the same size and position as it was at the time it was created.

. We suggest editing Mouse Click command to perform the action relative to window. Please follow the steps given below:
1) Double click on Mouse Click command.
2) Click on 'Advanced' button.
3) From 'Relative To' frame select option 'Window' and save the command.
4) Perform the above steps for every Mouse Click command in question.
5) Save the macro and run it.


2) We suggest inserting Delay after every command so that so that command gets enough time to execute on replay.

We would also like to suggest you to break down your keystrokes if given in one line at a stretch into several lines and try to insert 'Delay' command in between the lines for the error-less execution of the task. Breaking the keystrokes into several lines would give sufficient time to execute each action smoothly.
