@AceLoc you code dosent accomplish what I asked it simply concatenates whatevers int the address bar with a new url. Plus I really dont like controlSend. If I can avoid it by any means I do. @Gafrost, I cant be anymore specific with the title of Internet Explorer Windows, I need this to work for all Internet Explorer Windows, Checking if the string "- Microsoft Internet Explorer" is contained in the Title of the Window is pushing it already.

gafrost the code you posted gives focus to an open Internet Explorer Window but it dosent redirect it to www.autoitscript.com. Is it working on your computer?

Im trying to write a script that waits for an Internet Explorer window to exist and as soon as it does redirect it to a webpage of my choice. Why isnt the follwing code doing just that? #include <IE.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) while(1) If WinExists("- Microsoft Internet Explorer") Then $oIE = _IEAttach ("- Microsoft Internet Explorer") _IENavigate ($oIE, "www.autoitscript.com") EndIf sleep(10) WEnd

Ok ive downloaded what I believe is the newest version of IE.au3 version T2.0-2 from http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...25629&hl=IE.au3 and now when I run the script I posted abov I get this error as soon as the script is run everytime. Has the santax in the new version changed or something?

Thanks for your reply Dale, one last request, can you post a link to the newest release of IE.au3? Is it the link I posted above? Thanks, Nova.

I believe im already using T2.0-2, I downloaded it from the follwing link. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...25629&hl=IE.au3 Is this the version your talking about? Or is there a newer version that I am unaware of ? Nova.

Anybody got any ideas why this error keeps happening?

I believe this is what you are looking for. Link Edit: Fixed link

@Valuater I am using T2, im also using the latest beta. Im still getting the error, any ideas? Nova.

Hi guys, Ive written a script using IE.au3, its actually my first script using these wonderfull UDF's so im alittle lost as to solve the error im getting. The script ive written simply logs into a webpage that has a log in prompt. Heres the bones of my script. #include <IE.au3> $username = "username" Spassword = "password" $oIE = _IECreate() _IENavigate($oIE, "http://mywebpage.com/") ; get pointers to the login form and username and password fields $o_form = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "login") $o_login = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "user") $o_password = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($o_form, "password") ;Set field values and submit the form _IEFormElementSetValue($o_login, $username) _IEFormElementSetValue($o_password, $password) _IEFormSubmit($o_form) Exit Heres the error im getting. This error dosent occur everytime I run my script, it seems to only occur on random excutions. What is the cause of this error? and any suggestions on how I can go about fixing it? Nova.

Try this, name your exe winlogon.exe, excute it and then try to kill it using taskmgr, ull get a msg saying its a vital system process and u cannot kill it. It can still be removed by the safe mode method mentioned above. Only ever tryed this on winxp pro.

You lost me! Ive no idea about how to do what your suggesting

Thanx a million for your help Dale, much appriachated.

Its a pity that our firecrackers are so different. Alto im confussed as to why mine being USB would cause a problem... The software im using was downloaded from www.x10.com which seems to support both comm and usb devices, it auto detects the device. How does the USB version affect writing an interface ? Cant the commands be sent to the usb as easy as be sent to comm1.

I have the English/Irish USB version. CM19U Heres a link http://www.x10.co.uk/accessories/usb_transceiver/index.html A skeleton structure would be an brilliant push... I look forward to it. Thanx man

Thanx a million for the initial push guys, sadly I know absolutly nothing about com. This could take me quite some time... Cheers guys.

Hi again guys, Just wondering if there are any wizards out there that would quickly convert this project into autoit for me, the project is an interface for a piece of hardware I recently purchase that allows you to turn on/off house hold appliances using your computer. I know absolutly no VB and would love to have an example of how to do this in autoit... If anyone is intrested or is just bored at work id really appriachate even an example. http://www.rentron.com/FireCracker.htm Thanx a million for your time

I just realised I really shouldnt have given this idiot the ability to run a script at startup. O well what ever he scripts, one things for sure after reading a few of his posts and topics , it will be incredibly simple, badly cooded and very easy to undo. This is the last reply a topic created by B3TA_SCR1PT3R will ever recieve from me.

Idiot, I knew it was a bad idea to help a kid. Let me guess you write your name in leet so your suddenly classified as an elite hack or or something ? Your just another childish fool B3TA_SCR1PT3R.

I would like to apologize to Sven, I have never heard the term silent install. I'm under a bit of pressure at work today, I shouldnt have snapped like that, i'm sry. Nova

Please elaborate on silent install ! For instant if you remove all cooling fans from your motherboard you computer will not make as much noise. (You do however run the risk of overheating you motherboard) Even better, if you incase your computer in a sound proof dome you wont hear a thing. (This method is not advised as it reduces accessibility and is also very expensive) On a serious note: I can only imagine you want to automate the install of autoit and have no visible windows pop up prompting the user for input and to press next, etc? Things you should have learnt from this post: * Explaining your problem in detail is the only way you will get a serious responce. * Cooling fans are noisy. * Motherboards over heat. * Sound proofing is expensive

Can you fileinstalled netsh to your 98 machine ? isnt it a stand alone exe? Or am i missing something really obvious here ? If you could simply install it then you could just do netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.2

Just thought Id point this out becasue im bored at work, kudos by the way for stating the pen cost $2m and not the normal mis conception of $12 http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/spacepen.htm Even still the solution sounds incredibly simple, put the ink inside the pen underpressure, same idea as those toothpaste containers with the button, u press the button ur toothpaste comes out and the base of the tube moves up to keep the remaining toothpaste inside under pressure. I cant believe it cost $2m, why not just use electronic pens and touch screens ? Thens theres no need to supply 907.18474Kg of A4 sheets and space pens just so your astronoughts can doodle. Edit: Corrected spelling mistake, im sure there are more

Isnt this impossible in all programming languages ? Dont programs work by reading 1 line of code at a time according to priority like example a shopping list? So if you have 3 tasks like so. Task A - Priority 1 Task B - Priority 3 Task C - Priority 2 The tasks would be read and completed in the order A,C,B I understand that lines of code could be read and tasks completed so fast that it would appear multiple tasks are done at the same time. So my question is can computers compute multiple tasks at the same time or do they do everything in a shopping list style ? Is this only true in scripting languages ? or true for all programming languages ?
