As A Complete Noob, How Would I Simlate The Mouse?

[vini]

Im just after something that will move the mouse every hour or so (about a centimeter) to stop the screen powering down/screensaver coming on.

I will schedule the .exe to run every hour, so how would i move the mouse <----> this far?

Lookup MouseMove and sleep in the help file.

BTW - This is not the correct forum to ask for support.

ive read the helpfile and got to:

;
; AutoIt Version: 3.0
;
; Script Function:
;   move the mouse.
;

MouseMove ( 10, 10 [, 10] )


; Finished!

but i get an error.

mods please move this to the right folder, apologies.

$Timer = TimerInit()
While 1
    If TimerDiff($Timer) / 1000 / 60 >= 60 Then
        MouseMove(10, 10)
        $Timer = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Edit:

Forgot a 'f'

Why don`t you just turn off the screensaver and change the power settings?

Check out this great tutorial/demo for Autoit: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=21048

the screensaver is off and the power settings are set to never switch the monitor/hdd off. but with it being windows 2000 and on a domain, im not sure, but its locking out after so much inactivity.

we display a static image on the screen and there is no keyb/mouse on the machine itself.

anyway, ive nailed it, so thank you all for your help! much appreciated.
