Hello, after doing some search upon the start issues for OSK.EXE I found several threads covering the nice 32bit/64bit filesystem redirection. Searching the autoit help is bringing up this topic: _WinAPI_Wow64EnableWow64FsRedirection That one is telling: This function is useful for 32-bit applications that want to gain access to the native system32 directory. By default, WOW64 file system redirection is enabled. This function may not work reliably when there are nested calls. Therefore, this function has been replaced by the Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection and Wow64RevertWow64FsRedirection functions. But I cannot find any other topic in the help system covering this stuff? BTW, this is working for me perfectly to keep OSK.EXE running all the time. Purpose is a tablet application, where some users tend to close OSK and to complain afterwards, that it vanished ;-) Func OSKchecker() If ProcessExists("osk.exe") Then Return Else ; MsgBox(0,"kein OSK erkannt",$PIDosk) If (@OSArch = "X64") And (@AutoItX64 = 0) Then DllCall("kernel32.dll", "boolean", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "boolean", 1) ;~ Turns On 64 Bit Redirection $PIDosk = ShellExecute("osk.exe") DllCall("kernel32.dll", "boolean", "Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection", "boolean", 0) ;~ Turns Off 64 Bit Redirection Else $PIDosk = ShellExecute("osk.exe") EndIf EndIf EndFunc ;==>OSKchecker
