I am. It's rock solid for what I do.
Of what problems do the forums speak?

I have read these:
http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=4477
http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=4875

and they are quite recent, that scares me.

Hello tslim,

btw. - have you ever had a look to http://www.quickmacros.com/ ??
the advantage ist among others, that you can convert macros to exe files with it's own compiler.
you can access dll files and and and - do nearly everything.
It's worth a try!

Kind greetings
Roland

I just flip through QM on-line help, its schedule function seems to be limited.
I want to upgrade to Macro Express Pro, partly because of its improved scheduling function.

Don't they have a money-back guarantee?  If so, I'd say trial it... if no problems, then try the purchased one.  I haven't used it on my Win7 machine, only on XP (and for a couple of years now), but haven't seen any problems on XP.

Are you sure?
I just tried it in WinXP+Sp3, its macro explorer is quite buggy.

I can tolerate problem due to version incompatibility, i.e. I understand that since commands have been changed in PRO version, so some old macro might not work correctly.

However, my macro (about 80 of them are not that complex) all run fine after being converted to PRO format. I just can't Open some of my macro with script editor (it just crashes) or after opened one macro that immediately place macro explorer into a "crash ready to go next" status... i.e. if I touch anything else, it crashes. It is buggy... sigh!

I'm sorry to hear that you're having touble. My own transition to the Pro version (a long time back) was trouble free, nor have I encountered problems with it since.

Just to ask the obvious, did you try wiping ME from your machine and starting over (after first saving your macros elsewhere)?

Anyway, good luck. Let us know if things improve for you.
