Run Program Problems

In Global Actions, I am trying to create a new action/command that will activte my ISP whenever I make a symbol. Now, I can get everything set up, with the action set correctly, the Run- Run Program set, and the location of the .exe set, and as long as I keep that command open it will work fine, but once I change what I am looking at and try to run it again, it doesn't work. When I go back and look at the information I set it is replaced with random characters, and not just where the file name goes, but in all the open places. This problem has occured with every action I have created and bound to a new program. I need help! What's going on? Is it a virus? Is it the fact that I am running Windows ME (yes, I know that's bad no matter what)? I really like StrokeIt and please help me get it working. Thanks!

Try the .9.3 preview: [url=http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/forum/read.php?f=3&i=834&t=834]http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/forum/read.php?f=3&i=834&t=834[/url]

If it's still not working for you, let me know exactly what text you're using with the Run Program command.

Ive experienced this as well.

how do you make a gesture that will run a program... Say a game like Warcraft 3 or Counterstrike i cant get it to do that....

Still doesnt work with the .93 preview

I'm also having the same problem opening an app.

I had the same problem running a program. I just kept browsing for the file, again and again.

After about a zillion tries, it stayed how I configured it. I don't know what I did exactly, but you should try wiping out the action/command and do it over again. If is still dosen't work, try rebooting.



BTW, I have XP, so it has nothing to do with ME.

I have got this problem as well.
With Windows 2000 SP4. Simplified Chinese.

looks pretty much like my bug report I filed yesterday. Depends on renaming the newly created commands/actions. If you omit that, strange chars occur. Solution: directly rename the newly created actions/commands

Are you talking about Command "Run - Run Program"? If so, make sure you set the Run dropdown box to Normal Window, Maximized, or Minimized. If you leave it blank the program fails to start. Other than this, I have had no problems running programs with gestures.

What is the run program command for Microsoft Word? I would really like to know and my teacher wont tell me.

Depends which version. For me, with Office XP, it's "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\winword.exe"
