What
Some irritating games or softwares requires you to click many hundred times, and
this program just do that for you automatically.
New Features:
AutoMouseClicker 2 is back with more amazing features!
- click interval now works correctly, with a countdown displayed
- random intervals (between 2 values)
- loop mouse events (highly-requested!)
- save loop value together with the mouse events to XML
- turn on XP Visual Styles (which "normal" applications doesn't provide support
for)
- system tray (deactivated by default)
- customizable tray icons (through icon themes)
- control multiple instances with single hotkey
Features:
- keep the program 'Always on Top' of all other windows (Useful)
- keep your program settings (in a XML file)
- clicks the Left or Right mouse button automatically
- HotKey lets you start/stop the auto-clicking (useful with Hyper-Click)
- Hyper-Click option clicks the position where you have moved your mouse pointer
to
- RepeatClick textfield can be reset to the initial value entered when the click
ing stops
- start program minimized (useful to combine with autoSTART)
- programmable mouse events
- Saving/Loading of events to XML format (editable manually)
- Command Line Argument(s)
- run: automatically starts clicking
- works as long as the word run is added to end of command line,
- doesn't matter if run is preceded by a -run or /run
- to run on windows startup, just put a shortcut ["AutoMouseClic
ker.exe" -run] in the windows Startup folder
- load or event: automatically loads events.xml (meaning you can virtual
ly set everything up, and make a shortcut to trigger a series of mouse clicks, w
ith AutoMouseClicker's windows set to minimized!)
- terminate: automatically terminates program after clicking stopped.
Here's an example:
"C:\AutoMouseClicker\AutoMouseClicker.exe" load run terminate
What it simply means:
AutoMouseClicker will start, load and run events.xml, then termi
nates.

Why
Aching fingers because of too much clicking!
Some other information
I was playing an online BlackJack game (no real money involved), and I need to c
lick on my mouse 50 times to get the bet to the maximum amount $250, and this is
just for one hand of cards. Imagine I have played 20 to 30 hands, that is >1000
clicks.
Now my fingers are already aching and trembling, and I have yet to win back the
money I have lost to the dealer.
I did a search on the Internet for mouse clicking programs.
I found only one and it is 'Mouse Clicker by JM Burton (http://www.jmichaelburto
n.com/mouseclicker/).
Too bad that there are some limitations to it, so I decided to make one that is
better then it.
In case you don't know, I can say I didn't copied any of its design for my progr
am.
I thought of my program's design on my own.
'Purpose of the "Safety Mechanism" option'
To prevent the unintended input of a click interval that is so short
that it becomes impossible to stop the mouse clicking process
(or to click on the STOP button).
Try this to know why there is this 'Safety Mechanism' option:
0. Run my program.
1. Input/Type in the 'Click Interval in ms' text field a value of 100 or less (a
ny value greater may not be enough to prove my point).
2. Make sure the 'Click ? time(s) only' checkbox is not checked.
3a. Make sure 'Safety Mechanism' option is checked
3b. Click on START button and you will see a msgbox 'Safety Mechanism triggered!
'
4a. Now uncheck the 'Safety Mechanism' option
4b. Click on START button and you will understand why I put in this 'Safety Mech
anism' option.
'Purpose of the "Hyper-Click" option'
The mouse will just click the position where your mouse pointer is
This means you can move the mouse around, while it is still clicking
Installation
No special installation is required on Windows.
AutoMouseClicker can be put in any folder (together with other required files).
You may make a shortcut to it on your Desktop.

The error that you have encountered is caused by some VB runtime and MS scriptin
g files not being properly installed or uninstalled from the system.
One way that the run-time error 429 occurs is when one of the components that is
needed by the program is not registered correctly.
The File System object is contained in the Scrrun.dll file. Make certain that th
is DLL file is installed on the target computer, and that it is correctly regist
ered.

This error message does not mean that there is something wrong with MDAC. It mea
ns that some DLL file, which is referenced from the application, is missing.
However it is recommended that you get your system updated to MDAC 2.5 SP3 or hi
gher.
