Hot key runs on one computer but not another computer Topic is solved

[butchalline]

I have two computers running Win 10.
Working ver. of AHK is Ver. 1.1.26.1 is on one computer, let's call it W
Non working ver. of AHK is ver. 1.1.27.07 is on another computer, let's call it N

Both computers use the same script:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
;#SingleInstance force ; needed for testing repeatedly
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

^j:: ; control 'j' launches the app and applies lat & lon 
Run, C:\Program Files (x86)\SatPC32\SatPC32.exe 
Sleep, 1000 ; weirdness without delays
Send  {-}{8}{4}{.}{2}{TAB} 
Sleep, 1000
Send {3}{6}{.}{0}{TAB}
Sleep,1000
Send {ENTER}
Return ; required to terminate

Same file locations:
C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey

Same start:

Reboots, cold starts make no difference on either machine

Other than the different versions, what could be the problem?

Any and all help appreciated.

Perhaps the non-working computer already has that hotkey registered by a different application. Try changing the hotkey to $^j:: and try again. Also, try running the script as admin.

Thank you Nextron!
$^j:: worked (not on first attempt, but on second and subsequent attempts)
Go figure...

New day, new problems.
Same two machines, same set up as yesterday.
Today, no scripts are working on any machine.

Should I just convert the script to an .exe ?

[Nextron]

Converting it isn't likely going to make a difference.

Try restarting your script, or running it as admin. Are you running any other scripts?

[butchalline]

Thanks again Nextron.

Only this one script running.
Start up running as admin.
No joy yet.

The hi-lighted line is what I am using.
