While trying to write and execute a basic script I did something wrong--now the application I was trying to open has the AutoIt icon on the exe file and the application won't open (Photoshop.exe) and Photoshop.exe keeps trying to run in the windows task manager causing my machine to run very slow. How do I fix this???

Can u paste source of your scripts. It's quiet difficult to understand what u've done.

What I think I did was chose 'compile' from the script editor menu and set 'Photoshop.exe' as my target...how can I undo that?

Thanks.

If that is what you did, then you are going to have to reinstall Photoshop.

Ok. Thanks. What is it that I actually did when I set Photoshop as the target?

Pedro

Oh I see...thanks. won't make that mistake again...

What if I did a system restore to before I overwrote the PhotoShop executive file?

There is one simple and easy way to find that out.

I think yopu know what it is.

Do you have Win7? if so try right-mouse-click on the program and select "restore previous version" to see if its available.

[Jos]

It only backs up system settings. I consider it to be so useless that I disable it.

This is the second time these last 2 days you make a bold statement. It has proven useful several times for people I helped to clean up their PC after getting corrupted of infected by a virus, so lets not advocate to disable it unless you are absolutely sure and understand the extra risks involved.

Just my opinion,

I did not see any one advocating, it was an opinion.

Here is another: XP's sys restore is mostly useless, unless you like to restore old malware.
