Phantom for windows and Xnview incompatibility

HI,
i tried to automatize some tasks , like cropping and saving and answering yes... or resize by 10% ...
I tried this with P1´s Phantom for windows. But it only works as a one time shot. After the script is done, the mouse wheel and keyboard are not recognized anymore.
With other Progs , acdsee etc. this works.
Any clue ??
Anyone knows a keyboard macro language working with Xnview ??

I am not sure if you mean to say that your mouse and keyboard does not work after running your script or that your mouse and keyboard actions of your script work only once?
I have never used Phantom but as general rule of thumb when using such scripting tools it is better to use the keyboard as much as possible in scripts as mouse events can be more shaky to regenerate.

I can recommend the two following scripting tools.
- AutoIt
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ (Freeware with Basic-like language syntax)
- CLR script
http://www.clrsoftware.com/ (Shareware with C-like language syntax)
I have used AutoIt a little bit with XnView, and it worked well for me. Never tried CLR script with XnView although I have used it a lot more in general and prefer it's syntax (I'm pretty sure it also works

).
I believe neither of those two tools I mentioned have recording or scheduling as Pahntom does.
