Launching Script Doesn't Display GUI

[jestahh]

Hi there,

I'm having an issue as a user rather than as a creator of a script here - I've recently been attempting to launch a number of different au3 files which all have their own GUI setups, yet whenever I do nothing appears or shows up. These scripts are definitely functional as I've seen friends use them before, but when I use them nothing shows up.

If it helps, the script does appear in task manager as a running process - so it feels as though the file has launched but I just can't see the GUI. I've tried running as admin, disabling my anti-virus as well but to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing it not to appear?

What are you trying to automate ?  Looks like game automation.  You may want to read carefully forum rules...

The latest version of AutoIt includes some groundbreaking features, among others it is now armed with Artificial Intelligence.

Whenever a user launches an .au3 file that does not comply with Forum Rules, Human Rights or a healthy lifestyle, the execution is prevented. For example, if you order a pepperoni pizza and your health scores are poor, you'll get the broccoli one .

Seriously, what kind of help do you expect without posting at least one of the scripts.

Sounds like a bad HDMI cable, try upgrading the firmware.

@jestahh,

Post the code that demonstrates the issue when you like to receive a serious answer as we aren't clairvoyant.

I have very similar occasional problem with our development tool (not AutoIt) GUI at work:

After run (click on its icon on desktop) GUI was off screen, later I discovered X,Y=-32000 and status of window was hidden.

So I created this small repair utility

which set X,Y=0 set W,H=800/600 and set status of window from hidden to visible (SHOW):

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ; substring

$win = WinGetHandle("My title")

If Not @error Then
    If Not @Compiled Then
        $pos = WinGetPos($win)
        ConsoleWrite('X,Y,W,H: ' & $pos[0] & ',' & $pos[1] & ',' & $pos[2] & ',' & $pos[3] & @crlf) ; X,Y,W,H: -32000,-32000,160,28
    EndIf
    WinMove($win, '', 0, 0, 800, 600)
    WinSetState($win, '', @SW_SHOW)
EndIf
