Msgbox not timing out??

[chrisT]

I run Win8.1(64bit) and compile au3 as x86(32bit) where could I start to troubleshoot msgbox's not timing out? I actually have to click a button (OK) for the msgbox to close & resume excuting the exe. These exe's are launched using Windows Task Manager.

If I run the exe's manual or start them with Windows Task Manager Msgbox timeout is ok. It appears intimitently

Any help appreciated

Thanks Chris

Hi I finally have a script that isn't intermittent when the "timeout" doesn't work with msgbox, keep in mind that this script is launched automatically by "Windows Task Manager" into session 1 & when compiled is x86 & the latest version of Autoit 3.3.10.2 & the OS is Windows 8.1 64bit.

Why would the MSGBOX not timeout on line No.38 with MsgBox(64,"","Not a Market Holiday! CONTINUING...",2)

Any help appreciated, thx
