Unknown window appears during script run

[likehu]

Hello

I have wrote a script which capture 4 different regions on the screen then try to find a specific image in these regions and in case of success changes label text in my GUI. For screen scraping and image comparison script uses _ScreenCapture and FindBMP function.

I put it in a loop with 1 second break.

And all works great while after a couple of minutes hidden window appears and my script freezes. No text, no messages, no titles. When I try to close this window from windows taskbar it blinks on the center of the screen and hides again. Only “End Task” from task manages can close this window and script.

The situation is the same when run it form SciTE or as EXE file. I also tried 2 different versions of Autoit, newest and previous.

I can’t understand the cause of the problem. Is it a FindBMP function error or some overflow? Strange that it appears in a couple of minutes after totally normal work (images in the regions found and label changes continuously). I also tried to stop and start scanning every 1 min with help of buttons in GUI and nothing helps. Hidden window appears in 5-10 mins.

Please advice from what steps I have to start to remove this window. Do I need to upload all script here?

Yes, agree   but i can't find anything about this window.

Here is my image finder script.

All other files (bmp icons ant ini file with coordinates) in the zip file in attachment. So I have started script in the SciTE or with EXE and after 5-10 mins that window blinks on desktop and dissappears. And script freezes.

Just to explain shortly what this script does. There are 6 different icons and 4 big main areas on desktop and script try to find each icon on specific area inside every big main area. All this done in For..Next loop.

Please help.
