Sgrovert Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I have made a script on a windows XP-64 machine were the corner of an edge is located with the following script $col=PixelGetColor(1,500) $x=1 While PixelGetColor($x,500)==$col $x+=1 WEnd $y=500 $col=PixelGetColor($x,$y) While PixelGetColor($x,$y)==$col $y-=1 WEnd The code works as follow : - Get background color - Check pixel to right - On color change, while ends - Look up color of the window border - Walk up until top left border if found. On my old windows XP machine, this script runs in milliseconds, like it's supposed to. On a brand new windows 8 pc, it takes up to 10 seconds to complete this code. Anyone knows why?

JohnOne Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I think themes like aero slow it down. I don't know why. Disable themes to test.

Sgrovert Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings And set "visual effect" to "Adjust for best performance" It didn't solve the problem. The windows 8 machine was installed 3 days ago, and allmost all setting are still at default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted September 23, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Sgrovert,Have you followed JohnOne's advice and tried turning off Aero or any other theme? Themes are known to have a pretty dreadful effect on PixelSearch performance. M23Edit: 17k!

JohnOne Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I went to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings And set "visual effect" to "Adjust for best performance" It didn't solve the problem. The windows 8 machine was installed 3 days ago, and allmost all setting are still at default. No Idea how to do then I'm afraid. It just sounded awfully familiar to problems people have had with win 7 also.
