Try ProcessClose("photoshop.exe")

tryed it didn't work, or i'm supposed to use the entire string

ProcessClose("c:\\program files\photoshop\photoshop.exe") ?

ProcessClose("photoshop.exe") worked for me. Maybe you aren't the owner of the process.

[joker17]

i'm logged as admin, and all the application was installed from this account

What version of windows?

[cew27]

[joker17]

simple fix. Don't try to cheat at whatever MMO is running the "anti-cheat" you're trying to kill

[joker17]

i'm not trying to shut down the "anti-cheat" programm i'm trying to shut down the entire exe game ^^

Wow, that was abrupt.

What account is the AutoIt script running from? Is it the same user and does it have process related privileges?

Edit: Never mind. I suppose that if you want to close the game, you could always try using your mouse and or keyboard and exiting the way everyone else does.

lol why i'm supposed to not be legal/moral able to shut down the game with a macro?

[Richard Robertson]

If you ask in English, or any other intelligible language, maybe we could try and answer that question.

[joker17]

lol it is perfect english:

some code to shut down a program, easier then this is impossible

Close the process in debug mode, if you don't know how to do it, msdn is your friend.

[joker17]

lol msdn? i'm not shure what u mean

[Blue_Drache]

MSDN... the MicroSoft Dummy Network .... basically the home office.

LOL.

It's actually the online help repository for anything Microsoft.

So you think of us as short order code cooks? Get a grip bud.

I'll guarantee you won't get it from me.
