AutoHotkey Community

Same here... Desktop was Read-Only, but it worked when I saved it in My Documents. Don't know if that helps...
I also have AVG 8 - everything is turned on, and everything works fine.

Solved
Thanks a lot!

For me this problem was caused by AVG. I've experienced this issue in versions 7, 8 and 9 of AVG. I've tried adding the Autohotkey's folders and files to the exclusion list, but this doesn't seem to work. The only work around i have is to temporarily disable AVG's Resident Shield, then compile, then re-enable.

I hope this helps.

A Bit late but helped me

The following filenames and associated MD5 checksums are included for reference:

Forgot to mention that I didn't use the installer so I didn't have the file AutoHotkeySC.bin.
