This line:

GetActiveWindow>title,X,Y,W,H

is getting the position and size of the window, so try adding

MessageModal>%title% %X% %Y% %W% %H%

to see if that is working correctly.

It creates a pop up, and as long as the window is in the left side of the screen, it works. But as soon as I move the window to the middle of to the right of the screen i get an error. Incorrect Parameter.

I'm baffled by what you are saying - I can run this script and it works fine wherever IE is on the screen!

You should just add the line to your script to open IE, place it at 0,0, and even size the window, or use WindowAction> to maximize it. Don't forget you have lots of options to take control of your desktop.

But in my case, I had the scripting window opened on the left screen and the IE window opened on the right screen. With my resolution I can have two screens opened in full view.

Are you using some (software?) multiscreen display?

I really dont know what to tell you all. I am just reporting what I am seeing here. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000. The resultion is super high, but no i am not using any multiscreen drivers.

Skunk, thanks for the ideas about placing the screen at 0,0. I will do that.

It does seem strange to me why it would error out. I ran a few tests this morning.

1. If IE is max, then the script works.
2. If IE is in absolute left... it works.
3. If IE is in middle, it does nothing.
4. If IE is in absolute right, I get a fatel error... many error windows are opened. If you want, I can take snapshots. But i dont know how to show you the pics on here.

If the script works when the window position is at 0,0 (upper leftmost) you may be able to handle different window positions by:-

1) getting the current position of the window.
2) adding those values(as variables of course) to the mouse and other positioning commands.

If you look at the code posted earlier in this thread you'll see that is how it's supposed to work. GetActiveWindow> returns the position and size of the window and the results are used later in the macro.

The mystery is why that's working for everyone else, but not adivarup.
