I have been using AHK with Windows 7 x86 for some time. I just got an x64 system and it will not run the scripts that I have already recorded, they just hand in the system try with the H icon. So I wasn't sure if AHK was x64 compatible. I tried to record a new script to do something simple like open calculator and enter some numbers, but then it told me that winwait was missing parameters. Not sure why such a simple recorded macro wouldn't run.
Is AHK x64 compatible? Any suggestions?

I use the Win 7 x64 with AHK Basic, and it works fine.
Sometimes the recorder won't work, it's better to write manually. Post your code, there maybe some syntax error in your code.

That's great news!
It is a very simple script that:
1) Saves the open incident
2) Clicks the print pull down
3) Selects a report
4) Prints two copies of the report to a printer named "greeter"
5) Exits adobe.
It seems to not like the items the recorder added like WinWait and WinActive. If you have any recommendations, I would love to hear them!
We do have issues with if the window is not fully maximized the pointer "misses" as the position changes. Also if people touch the mouse while it is trying to work or waiting for the PDF report to generate.
Thanks!

You can adjust the script to suit your need, I'm only guessing here because I don't really know which one do you click.
You can use CoordMode to set if the Mouse is relative to the application or to the screen.
If you want to maximize the window, you can use WinMaximize.

Setting the coordinates relative to the application window and not the entire screen would be great! I will do some further research on that and see what I can come up with. I didn't realize there were commands available outside of the recorder until I started digging into this web site more. I will try the revised script today.
Thanks
Thanks

FYI, there is offline Helpfile available for us to read, you can find it in the AutoHotkey's installation folder, called 'AutoHotkey.chm'
