Wow, this is great.. it looks like a professional game! Is this going to be a candidate in the AutoIt Game Competition? This would surely be up at the top of the judges' lists.

That post was last updated in 2006. It's very likely that AutoIt has changed somehow and the script needs to be changed also. I suggest trying to contact the post's author and asking for him/her to update it.

A memory-hogging code like that would definitely slow down Vista. It must be something with your hardware that cannot run as quickly with Vista that is making this slow down now that you upgraded. You're asking AutoIt to check 25 pixel colours in around 100 milliseconds. Putting a Sleep() function into the For loop will use less memory, but take a teeny bit more time. Sleep(100) should be good, and you won't be able to notice a 100-millisecond pause.

Was the title indicating a security error? If so, this has been discussed.

I agree wholeheartedly. I haven't seen any OS earlier than Win2000 being run in at least a few years.. If removing support for these will do good for AutoIt, I'm all for removing it.

I did it.. If you're willing to continue this project you should spend the time to work on that upgrade. It really isn't too hard, just prefixing "Global " to a bunch of variables is code monkey work. But every now and then, you have to do stuff like that which takes a bit of time.

Also, @Justin: If you are adventurous, take a look at the AyEyePad source to see an alternative way for multitasking (not using GUISetOnEvent). In short, I declare global variables for the state of each window, and just put an If statement in the while loop like:If $STATE_thiswindow = True ThenJust set it to true when the window opens, and False when it is closed. Check for all the GUI messages (button clicks, close, etc.) inside that If statement.

Aww. Great job Justin, it's definitely improved from the start. I still think you should be using pictures as icons, though; the buttons really scream "UGLY!!"

Cool idea, why not make a feature to generate an entire password at once, after asking the user for the number of characters they want?

There's no error for me. However, three more suggestions:If Start Menu is clicked when it is already open, it should close.Clicking Help opens the web browser... what's up with that? PET PEEVE ALERT: If you click "Change Password" in the Control Panel, part of the prompt uses you're when it should be your.

GUISetBkColor($win, 0x000000); Line 16 I wasn't aiming for consuming less energy; more to reduce the brightness and eye pain from using a laptop at night without a built-in dimmer. And oops... I never thought about that.

If you uncheck the "Disable.." box, though, it'll let you edit it again.

For some reason it didn't download the English language file correctly. It's an easy fix: Download the English XML fileMove it into the lang directoryThat should fix it.
