Okay... seem to be having a problem with what should be a very straight forward and simple script.
All I want to do is create a script that will lock a Windows 7 workstation and then have the monitor go in to a power saving state. Seems simple enough right, yeah... so I thought.
So here's the code:
Code:
sleep, 1000
Run RunDll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
sleep, 1000
SendMessage,0x112,0xF170,2,,Program Manager ; send the monitor into standby (off) mode
ExitApp

Now the 4th line works just fine. Standby comes up with no problem. The RunDLL part is what's failling. The funny thing is, I can send
Quote:
RunDll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
to the RUN command and it works fine.

Okay... so as to squash any question: UAC has been turned off on the "test" system.

So... anyone with an idea?

Just one thing :
N00B ! :twisted:

Code:
sleep, 1000
Run RunDll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation
sleep, 1000
SendMessage,0x112,0xF170,2,,Program Manager ; send the monitor into standby (off) mode
ExitApp


Don't you see something that messes up ???

You must escape the comma !!!

Code:
sleep, 1000
Run RunDll32.exe user32.dll`,LockWorkStation
sleep, 1000
SendMessage,0x112,0xF170,2,,Program Manager ; send the monitor into standby (off) mode
ExitApp


It's working fine just with the `, :-D

I was joking, you're no n00b, it's happening to the best of us, espacially to the best... ;-)
