First of all I see Sleep(1000). This should be Sleep(2000) otherwise it will be every second. Second why is there #Include <GuiConstants.au3> when there is no GUI?

About you problem: Enter is a commonly used key in games and the game might be stealing the key so maybe you should try a different HotKey Like "{F2}" so try this.

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{F2}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
call("TogglePause")

While 1
    Send("{F8}")
    sleep(2000)
WEnd

Func TogglePause()
$Paused = NOT $Paused
While $Paused
sleep(100)
ToolTip('Script is "Paused"',0,0)
WEnd
ToolTip("")
EndFunc

Also , what game are you playing? I (or another AutoIt user) might have it and be able to test the script so i (or they) can fix it.

I thought NProtect was a part of Norton Utilties, Not something to protect games. Also if it is AFIAK they only try to stop memory editing which is not done in this script so it probably would not cause a problem.

P.S. Your Welcome.

Maybe this could help to get focus on the game window

ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window")

ControlSend works in a similar way to Send but it can send key strokes directly to a window, rather than just to the active window.

About the error: Maybe you copied it incorrectly and forgot to highlight the terminate func. I have made that mistake before.

Here is the script as a file.

Edit:File removed since there is an updated one below.
