1382675 2014-08-28 03:31:00 Hi all, wonder if you could help here.

Up until a few days ago I was able to happily run an autoclicker applet I use for runscape. This is until last Sunday when my HDD failed and I needed to reinstall windows 7 from scratch.

I have installed the latest flash (same version I had previous to the end of my happy computing world) and updated my graphics card drivers to no avail - the applet now freezes for periods of time, making it useless of course.

I do not have Java installed nor macromedia shockwave ( I may have had them before), and I could try installing these, but before I go ahead installing a plethora of stuff I wonder whether I am missing something here - like ms windows on board anti-spyware / firewalls etc I should try to kill first. Or maybe I need to uninstall something ... or install something.

The security suite I use, and have been using for the past 3 years, is comodo security suite and nothing changed there either.

All ideas are welcome.

1382676 2014-08-28 05:27:00 I would install Java see if that fixes it first. I wouldnt worry about a separate firewall or AV. Use Windows one instead Speedy Gonzales (78)

Java runtime?

I'll try that and report back.

1382678 2014-08-28 06:24:00 Pass maybe the Java that browsers use?? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1382679 2014-08-28 08:32:00 Java did not fix it.
Hi Speedy, what do you mean by pass maybe the java that browsers use? are there different types of java???

1382680 2014-08-28 08:57:00 Pass - I dont know. Java for browsers is the only Java I've used. But I dont now. I would ask Runescape this question (thats if you mean runescape). Do you use it in a browser?? If you do what browser are you using?? If firefox is adblock installed? Maybe it's blocking something? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1382681 2014-08-28 21:29:00 You may find now its a fresh install, the new version has been disabled / blocked somehow by runscape. Its actually against the rules to use it.

Item 3 mentions it (services.runescape.com) as well as the following posts ( back in 2008) control-click-with-runescape-applet/ (www.autohotkey.com)

Ha . I decided to do a fresh reinstall before I read your post Wainui, and now I can't even change the time on the pc, let alone installing things, as I sort of don't have administrative privileges . . .

Never had this issue before, to be honest, and there is only one generic user profile loaded .

I am running windows 7 home

What do I need to change so that I can take control of my pc?

Cheers

1382683 2014-08-30 00:42:00 Cant do much if you're not admin. Did you do a clean install, not install windows over windows? Can you create another user then make it admin, then delete the other user? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1382684 2014-08-30 01:12:00 If its a fresh install, and only one user account is created its automatically a limited admin account. While it is a admin account its not the "REAL" admin account, thats actually hidden.

To show the "real" admin account, click start, type in cmd, right click it from the results / Run as administrator. Type in net user administrator /active:yes You should see a message - command completed successfully. Reboot the computer -- and Viola, the Admin account ;)

To hide it again, do the same as before but this time type net user administrator /active:no

As Speedy mentioned, your profile my be corrupted, logging in Via the admin account, removing the existing user, and create a new one.

Edited: asked my son who plays on runscape sometimes about the auto clicker -- his reply -- That will get you banned and account deleted if caught. (polite version)
