AFAIK, its back to where it was except with debug info. The issue appears to be the interaction between PowerPro as a 32 bit program and all the layers of Windows software that get involved when you put keys into the keyboard buffer for other apps to read, esp 64 bit apps. > > ones (notepad and command prompt).

But if you don't disable hot keys, does it work? It is supposed to. In particular, with ` still enabled as a hot key, assign keys ` to (say) ctrl-alt-q then what happens if you open notepad and tyhe abc<ctrl-alt-q>def is the `properly inserted by the hot key? Pls try the above before downloading new exe. The latest exe has two additions: 1. It now explicitly resets the foreground window to the current window. This should be redundant (and is on xp 32 bit) but maybe it will help. 2. If you use Macro2 instead of Macro as the command, it uses PostMessage(...WM_CHAR...) to resend to `, This is not a reliable way to send keys in general, but it may work here. I am not too helpful thought, as it requires a AttachThreadInput to get the window with the focus, and that will likley fail between a 32 bit and 64 bit app. I hope one of these helps as I am about out of ideas.
