What helps a lot is adding more sleep to the script, changing Sleep(200) to Sleep(1000), but then the script has to take more time to finish and even if I add more sleep it doesn't solve problem completly. I checked this on three computers and there is the same problem, on older computer with Windows XP it's even worse, the GUI is hanging a lot, a lot of problem dragging the GUI. What is causing this and how can I completly solve this? The problem is connected with using IE object, because when I run some script which doesn't use IE it doesn't cause this problem even if the script takes a lot of CPU. I didn't receive any response on the forum so I'm writing here. I don't have this problem here: {{{ Opt(""GUIOnEventMode"", 1) GUICreate(""test"", 200, 200) GUISetOnEvent(-3, ""CloseEvent"") $cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel(""0"", 9, 10) GUICtrlCreateButton("" Stop "", 9, 50) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, ""CloseEvent"") GUISetState() $i = 0 $iTimer = TimerInit() Do If TimerDiff($iTimer) > 2000 Then $i += 1 GUICtrlSetData($cLabel, $i) $iTimer = TimerInit() EndIf Until 0 Func CloseEvent() Exit EndFunc }}} ",Bug,closed,,AutoIt,3.3.12.0,None,Works For Me,"ie, gui",
