Good luck.

Can you send me the script? Or post it? When I tried it, it either locks up my computer or starts 400,000 instances of IE.

the problem with just posting the file would be that this program just records exactly what you do. So, your computers would have to be at the exact same resolution as mine, and the window be in the exact same place... I'll post some more detailed directions:

This program : http://www.macro-recorder.com/ will let you create a macro real easy like.

Just install it and run it.. right click the little plus icon in your system tray(Down by the clock on the toolbar), and pick options. Check the box for Repeat interval and set it to 300 .. leave repeat times at 1.

Then open http://www.crackerjack.com/games.php and maximize the window. Right click the plus again.. select record. Enter a name. Hit OK.

Click the ?Click here to vote? button. Wait a second or two? click ?Vote? under Lucy?s picture. Click ?Close Window?. Hit F11 (Stops recording)

Then whenever you are going to be away from the computer, open http://www.crackerjack.com/games.php maximize it, right click the plus icon and hit replay.. then select the file you saved.

When you want to stop the macro, press F8.

If you have any problems let me know!!

THANKS!

Van

Well, I've had the Macro running for 24hrs so far. You just need a few more people to run it. It really is EASY to set up.....
