instantsheller and ahk not working

[0zzy]

Hi, when i run instantsheller my ahk script to control volume does not work.

I can see the ahk process runnin on task manager...any idea?

You don't provide much to work with. What OS? A copy of your uncompiled. ahk script? Version of GameEx you are using?

These are some things that come to mind that the community may need to know before trying to point you in a direction.

Hi Draco1962, you are right.

i'm using win7sp1 x64.

The script is this:
 

b::Send {Volume_Up 3} 
v::Send {Volume_Down 3}

i'm not using gamex right now

To understand why this happens you need to understand Program Hierarchy.

A "shell", in this case "Instantsheller" is number one, top of the list - it's the king process.

Anything else is a slave to this process. Therefore AHK must be loaded/executed after InstantSheller.

Anything loaded before InstantSheller will be rendered basically useless (because it is effectively the top most process).

 

There are a few ways you can remedy this, i would like to see if you can find them

Hi DazzleHP,

if i remember instansheller run instead of explorer.exe, in this way it is the main process running at boot.

I have setup ahk script to run after user login on automatic execution, so it is just started after instantsheller as you suggest, right?

I have also tried to run ahk script after my frontend but nothing changes.

You're on the right track!

Try adding ahk to 'Launch on Startup' in the GamEx Settings, found @ Setup wizard> Tweaks/Performance.
