Datediff needs date-time stamps in the YYYYMMDDHH24MISS format. Your picture of the error message shows what you got instead.

Format

Type: String

If blank or omitted, it defaults to the time followed by the long date, both of which will be formatted according to the current user's locale. For example: 4:55 PM Saturday, November 27, 2004
[...]

Why not use

Code: Select all

time1 := A_Now
Sleep(2000)
time2 := A_Now
MsgBox DateDiff(time1, time2, 'Seconds')

btw, it is recommended to post code in a codebox instead of a picture. That way, people can easily test your code.
