Send does not work in Win7

[gmankds]

Hi there,

AutoIT-3.3.6.1 Windows-7 professional 32 bit

I am running around in circles solving the issue below.

When I run this script, the "Send" command does not work, what do I overlook here?

If I do the commands manually, it works fine.

Your response is much appreciated.

;AutoIt script: win-71

sleep(500)

; Turn off System Restore:

Run("Rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,,4")

sleep(500)

WinWaitActive("System Properties")

;AutoItSetOption("SendKeyDelay", 1000)

Send("!o")

WinWaitActive("System Protection for")

Send("{DOWN 2}")

sleep(500)

Send("!a")

WinWaitActive("System Protection")

Send("{LEFT}{ENTER}")

WinWaitActive("System Protection for")

Send("o")

exit

I experienced something similar some time ago and it was solved by using ControlSend instead of Send. Have you tried it?

Thanks for the response.

It was easy to resolve, RUN AUTOIT AS ADMINISTRATOR

At least your response made me wiser for the alternatives, very interesting.

Thanks,
