Hi!

I am new to AutoHotkey and I tried the code from Trikster, but unfortunately it doesn't work. That's the error:
-----
Error at line4.

Line text: %X
Error: This parameter contains a variable name missing its ending percent sign.
The program will exit.
----------

This is how I tried it:
1. Copy/Paste the code from Trikster into a notepad
2. Save the notepad-file as "mousefreeze.ahk"
3. Executed the file.

Was that correct?
Could you please help me with script getting it working, that would be great!
By the way, how can i unfreeze the mouse again? It would be good to have an extra script for that.

Thanks for your help! Smile

Best regards,
Tom

that's because the parameter contains a variable name missing its ending percent sign.

Change %X to %X% to restore it's missing percent sign.

Thank you for your quick reply:)

And how can I unfreeze the mouse again?

Esc::Exitapp

Please also dig around on the forums there are quite a few interesting scripts that are related.

Alternate plan:
read the link in my sig (Loops) but instead of looping a keypress, you are looping a mousemove.
