Some people are trying to use one of my scripts, but it isn't loading (or takes longer than it should to load). I'm really stumped about it since lots of people have used it w/o issue. So, I created a 'debug' window that shows exactly what happens at startup. Now, I have a new problem - they sent me a screen shot where the debug GUI is mostly blank!

Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? I've already sent a new build out with a 'copy text to clipboard' button as well as a listlines button so hopefully they can get me some more useful data to troubleshoot with. In the meantime I have no idea why the GUI would be half blank... Question



The code that draws the debug window is simple (and works fine on my PC (of course, so does the application, so....)):
Code:
gui,55:add,text,,startup details (debug)
gui,55:add,button,xm y+5 gdbg_copy,Copy to Clipboard
gui,55:add,button,x+5 yp gdbg_listlines,List Lines
gui,55:add,button,x+5 yp gdbg_exit,Exit
gui,55:add,edit,xm vDebug_Startup_Messages w300 h400 +ReadOnly,debug window loaded
debug_progress("starting...")
Version=0.20 (Debugmode 4)
App=Test
gui,55:show,,[ %App% v%Version% ]

My initial reaction is that it's something wrong with their computer and not your script. Maybe have them boot into safe mode and try running it.

I just got word back that it's only happening on 2 machines, so I think you're right... I really wonder what could cause it to behave this way, though. Probably will never know.

Well if you're feeling particularly frisky you can try running system file checker on those two machines, restart them and try again. A bit of a shotgun remedy but it will probably be easier than following AHK's dependencies all the way down the line and checking each system file.
