sorry about my ignorance, but how can that happen if we're all running the exact same script?
the .exe file is located in a network folder and we all run that same script from our computer, I think it should behave the same for everyone. One thing I noticed is that sometimes when they use Reload the old script remains active (despite the autoexec section containing singleinstance force) which might perhaps cause the problem, I don't know.

An executable (.exe) isn't a universe whole unto itself. Most programs (especially AHK) change their behavior depending on environmental factors, but attempt to make such changes imperceptible to the user.

In your case, one such behavioral change caused your script to work on your computer, but not on other computers.


Running one exe from a shared network space is usually asking for trouble (trouble updating the script, trouble with multiple instances, more...).

thanks a lot for the explanation, I'll keep it in mind when new problems arise.
