Macro How To Stop Record

[logic]

Hey everyone little question. I can start recording a macro or so it seems I can but for what ever reason I can't figure out how to stop the record. I think I'm missing something knowing me its probably something obvious to lol. After I start recording a window appears at the bottom that I can't access. here is a video of what I'm talking about sorry the sound is low. Even guesses to what I can do would be appreciated.

 

thank you

my windows vista updates aren't working and I know .net is not fully updated because of it. do you think this could be the cause?

There is normally 2 boxes that appear, the one in the bottom is nothing, there should be one that has pause and play and stop buttons.

I have not used the macro function in a few years, just tried and I'm getting "improper argument" everytime I try to end the recording, and the macro that is created does nothing.

I will investigate further.

OK I've looked into this a little further, the location where you are saving the Macro is affecting the display of the box with the pause,play,stop buttons.

When you start recording the macro try choosing a location like your "My Documents" folder, most likely you do not have right permissions to the Mastercam install folder.

Wow thank you so much. Ill check it out when I get home.

thanks so much that was totally it . Like you though now I'm stuck on the "Encountered an improper argument" ill have to check around on the forums later to see if anyone has a solution to that. If we both do its probably common. Thanks so much again

tryed macros on my desktop which has xp and your right macros work great. I never use that computer though . I downloaded a external program to do macro's not nearly as good. anyone else use a 3rd party software?

Does anyone have windows 7 with xp mode. Can you open Mastercam in xp mode and make a macro then run it in Mastercam?
