GridMove : problem -> mouse hooks can not be activated
« on: December 22, 2007, 03:28 PM »
GridMove doesnt 'work' any more and when I start/reload/changeoptions of GridMove I get a small window (usually about 25 times!) with:

"Warning: The keyboard and/or mouse hook could not be activated; some parts of the script will not function."

This happened since I installed Synergy. http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
However, then I uninstalled Synergy, reinstalled GridMove some times, some reboots, etc but still the same warning.

How can I 'force' GridMove to activate those mouse hooks?
Or can I get an overview of registered keyboard/mouse hooks in Windows XP and/or reset them?
Thanks in advance.

Edit: let me explain 'work', GridMove does load (icon in systray with the menus) but there no moving to grid functionality.

Honestly, i've never seen that problem.
But, from the error (which wasn't coded by me,it's part of ahk), i think the problem is that another program is registering the hotkeys gridmove is trying to register. The thing is: i've had other programs register gridmove's hotkeys, and it didn't present me that error :(

To be honest, i'm not quite sure how to help you :(

Ok, thanks for the quick reply. :up:
I put GridMove on another PC with Synergy already installed, and they went fine together.
Im afraid the solution will need to be a Windows reinstall.
