Key Broadcasting Stops

[Drarkan]

At times when I step away from my computer, or am on one toon managing bag space and tradeskills, I will often find that pwnboxer stops broadcasting. I can fix it however when I tap my broadcast key while mousing over the windows which seems to turn on the idle broadcast state. Though at times, like on my desktop, it will stop all together and requires a restart of pwnboxer. That one however I hope was fixed due to running in Admin, while logged in as an admin. Came to the conclusion that it wasn't necessary. Probably caused conflicts that jammed communications somewhere.

My laptop though experiences it too, but doesn't need a pwnboxer client restart. Any ideas as to what could conflict with key broadcasting?

Potentially you might have one of the power saving modes enabled.

With Vista/XP, even if you set the mode to performance, you need to change the setting in the registry for it to correctly register.

Not saying this is the case, but the power saving mode sounds like it could be kicking in, when the computer is idle for a while.

Interesting, I think Ualaa is onto something, because a long time ago on an alienware laptop, I saw something like this myself. Clicking on the actual window seemed to bring it "alive", it only needed it once.

It was only on my laptop though. Is that sorta what you see, where you have to click it only once though to make it work?

Yeah once you click something in the window it brings it back to life
