While 1
    $timer = TimerInit()
    Run("DuckLoad.exe")
    Do
        Sleep(1000)
    Until TimerDiff($timer) > 200*1000  ;60s
    If ProcessExists("DuckLoad.exe") then
    ProcessClose("DuckLoad.exe")
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

You need to declare the variable "$timer" first with either the Dim, Local or Global keywords.

Try:

While 1
    Local $timer = TimerInit()
    Run("DuckLoad.exe")
    Do
        Sleep(1000)
    Until TimerDiff($timer) > 200*1000  ;60s
    If ProcessExists("DuckLoad.exe") then
    ProcessClose("DuckLoad.exe")
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

How to do that?

Wend not matching with while..

Like now?

While 1
    Local $timer = TimerInit()
    Run("DuckLoad.exe")
    Do
        Sleep(1000)
    Until TimerDiff($timer) > 200*1000  ;60s
    ProcessClose("DuckLoad.exe")
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

There is still same error.

You will not get the error on the posted sourcecode, so what is the real code you have in the compiled script?

I think the error is in the posted script.. Attachment the full script which are coded in .exe

DuckLoad.au3

You problem is in this piece of code: $x could be unknown.

Do
        Run("Conexion.cmd")
        WinWaitActive("AOL 9.5 - Connected, Signed-On", "", 60)
        If WinExists("AOL 9.5 - Connected, Signed-On") Then $x = 1
    Until $x = 1

    Until $x = 1

And how i can fix it?

Wolfshare,

What did the original error tell you?

Something along the lines of "Variable used without being declared" I seem to remember.

So what do you think the remedy might be?

IDK..

Local $x ; <<<<< You have to declare the Variable, I tend to use Local (if in a Function) & Global if the variable is used in many Functions.
Do
  Run("Conexion.cmd")
  WinWaitActive("AOL 9.5 - Connected, Signed-On", "", 60)
  If WinExists("AOL 9.5 - Connected, Signed-On") Then $x = 1
Until $x = 1

Its best you look at the help file for Local, Global, Dim Variables. Also if you are using the SciTE by Jos, then add this #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 to the top of the script and hit Ctrl+F5, it will show you what is needed to tidy your code e.g. declaring variables.

Edit: I was writing this as Melba23 was posting...

Without sounding too obvious, have you tried reading the Help File? It contains all you need to know about declaring variables.

Wolfshare,

Common sense and a degree of analytical thought are absolutely essential if you want to do any form of coding in any language - you are exhibiting neither at the moment.

Let us run through this is even slower time:

If the error message tells you that "Variable used without being declared", what do you think you need to do to the variable?
