I’ve been using the full version of KM for months now. I really gave it a good chance, did all the updates, etc., but it remains completely unreliable and erratic. It looses track of macros and/or won’t execute them, exhibits long delays at times - often just hanging half way through a macro, finishes half a macro other times, and incorrectly report errors about “open dialogue boxes” when executing a macro. It works great for about 5 minutes, then it starts going south in dribs and drabs. After 10-15 minutes I have no choice but to abandon using it.
It’s not just one macro that might have been implemented incorrectly. I’m no novice when it comes to computers and this is not a highly complex program to setup. It simply is unreliable and fails miserably.
Even the brain dead Quickeys is still working better than this.

I’m sorry that’s true on your computer, and I wish I had an answer - hopefully someone else will jump in with more information.
However, let me just say that KM is a pretty darn solid app, and AFAIK, most people don’t have the issues you’ve mentioned. The reason I bother to mention this is so you know you’ve got an abnormal situation, and personally, when I have issues with software like you’re describing, I like to know if this is a common occurrence, or if my situation is unique.
Have you tried the standard things like repairing disk permissions? (Believe it or not, this has helped me more than once.)
Please hang on a little while longer. I'm sure when Peter (who is on Australian time) comes online, he will be able to suggest some more specific diagnostics.
