...Or that no one here, myself included, has ever heard of ActiveWords...
I took a quick look at its [url=http://www.activewords.com]homepage[/url] and I can easily imagine it would interfere with the flow of keystroke-oriented Windows messages between processes. I think your best bet would be to find a way to temporarily disable and re-enable it (would be ideal if you could just send Windows messages to it) and bracket your StrokeIt Keys commands with such. I think the ActiveWords [url=http://www.activewords.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5]Technical Support forum[/url] should be your next stop.
