Normally your script should always continue to run automatically even when you minimize it's window.

Could it be that you clicked it's tray icon and then it pauses? To avoid that, try Opt("TrayAutoPause",0) - the default is 1 meaning script will pause when you click the tray icon, setting it to 0 will prevent autopause.

Hmmm... I'm very sorry but my crystall ball doesn't agree with my tarot card reading on what your actual problem is... :)

Some shots in the dark: perhaps starting your app takes longer than the blink of an eye and you need to wait for it before script continues? Use ProcessWait() after the Run command to wait for the process. Same with actually activating the window: use WinWaitActive() to wait for a point in time where the window is actually active, and only then start manipulation. (And remember: sleep(270000) means wait 4.5 minutes! But I guess that's the idea.)

thanks bunny :)

Another hint: if sending keystrokes to an app doesn't seem to work (in the sense that you KNOW you are sending the right keystrokes to the right window, but the app only sometimes or even never seems to recognise the keystrokes) be sure to use Opt("SendKeyDownDelay",[higher value than the default 5]).

From the SendKeyDownDelay help:

Alters the length of time a key is held down before being released during a keystroke. For applications that take a while to register keypresses (and many games) you may need to raise this value from the default.

Time in milliseconds to pause (default=5).
