MouseMove and MouseClick do not do anything please help

[ghand005]

MouseMove and MouseClick do not do anything. I've even tried on a different computer. I am not an autoclick noob at all. I just can't figure out why the two most simple functions do not work. Literally my mouse just stays in the same place.

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Please post at least the script you have coded.  Else it is hard if not impossible to help  

[ghand005]

Just MouseMove

MouseMove(0, 0, 0)

Default is absolute positioning. So I think x and y need to be > 0

[ghand005]

WellI have tried everything, different numbers. I guess I am going to reinstall autoit to see if that changes anything. This is so strange.

What is the return value of MouseMove?

[ghand005]

mousemove doesnt provide a return value

[ghand005]

So i've done a little script here 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

MouseMove(0,0)
Local $aPos = MouseGetPos()
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Mouse x, y:", $aPos[0] & ", " & $aPos[1])

This returns the value 0,0 in the messagebox but my mouse hasn't actually moved....

May be your App uses a antichead protection?  Examples in helpfile are working for me.

I am on a virtualmachine but I dont think  that should matter..??

Is the script ran in the VM or its Host?

Inside the VM, but all my other scripts work perfectly fine. and everything runs good except the mousemove.

Here is a better question - why do you NEED to use Mousemove? Can you controlclick?

[singbass]

How do you access the VM?  I use DameWare and there are cursor settings to actually show the cursor on the remote.
