kenster89 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 When I run AU3Recorder from SciTE, no mouse clicks are recorded (Yes, the "Record Mouse" checkbox is checked.) Here is some information about by setup: AutoIt version: 3.3.12.0 SciTE version: 3.4.1 OS: Windows 8 x64 Additional info: two-monitor setup, account has administrator privileges Here are the entire contents of my script file after the recording: +> SciTEDir => C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE UserDir => C:\Users\accountname\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper SCITE_USERHOME => C:\Users\accountname\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE #region --- Au3Recorder generated code Start (v3.3.9.5 KeyboardLayout=00000409) --- #endregion --- Au3Recorder generated code End --- Thanks in advance for your help.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 28, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 28, 2014 That is odd, as I am unable to reproduce under the exact same setup. Did it just start for you as a problem, or has it always been this way under WIN8? #region --- Au3Recorder generated code Start (v3.3.9.5 KeyboardLayout=00000409) --- _WinWaitActivate("C:\Users\Hades\Desktop\Test2.au3 * SciTE","") MouseMove(799,433) MouseDown("left") MouseMove(816,598) MouseUp("left") #endregion --- Au3Recorder generated code End --- While we obviously want to get the recorder working for you, if you can explain just what you're trying to do we can probably offer suggestions on a workaround that may be even better at accomplishing your primary goal.

kenster89 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I installed AutoIt and SciTE for the first time today and it has never worked properly. What I am trying to do is automate a series of clicks to generate a license for one of our products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryDalooza Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Any 'anti-keylogger' type software is going to interfere. Virus protection, Hp Security software. AutoIt recorder needs to set a system wide "hook". If it can't... it doesn't work. Lar AutoIt has helped make me wealthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenster89 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 LarryDalooza, I do have Microsoft Forefront Endpoint Protection running at the moment. Before I disable it, Is there any way to confirm definitely that Forefront is the problem? Why doesn't the recorder prompt you that this is happening??

agoyal Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I am also having the same issue on Win 8.1 Steps to replicate: Have IE window open in background Have SciTE open on front Start recording Now press Alt Tab (this will bring IE window on front) Do mouse clicks on this IE window it will not record for me.

shank_007slayer Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I too had the same issue but on Windows 10. The best solution for this is to UN-CHECK the "Record Mouse" Check-Box and then start recording, Due to some glitch the checkbox flag might be reversed, its an defect from AutoIT. Hope this helps Happy Automating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
