I use the VB SDK (the new com dll) and there seems to be a problem with it.
When the bot's window isn't active or visible, the bot doesn't work. The sdk
only receives its events once it becomes active. For example, you log your
bot in and go to Active Worlds and talk to it. It will not do anything or
respond to any events until you make it active, so if you tell it its a
stupid bot or something and have that command programmed in, it won't
respond until you make it active or visible. It took me a long time to say
that, but I just wanted to be clear on the issue at stake. It can be fixed
by setting the priority in Windows XP's Task Manager to Above Normal or High
(but lately even this hasn't worked). There's an API command to make it's
priority high also, but it kind of makes the whole computer slow down when
it's doing anything. I wish there was away around this! Someone help me, I'm
really not a bad person, I just want my bot to work ^_^

Maybe this is a Windows XP thing becuase none of my bots using the new dll
do that in win98.

I heard it has to do with threading - it has occured with me and another
Windows 98 user. Some registry settings or something, wish I knew how to
tell Windows not to use it for my program specifically though.

Yes I know, but even though I'm only one of the exceptions (since my
computer for some reason came with this "threaing" enabled) the SDK can at
least not have it enabled.

I know it must be the VB SDK because I can use programs like Preston and
they work fine :-S maybe I should just forget it

Well - I did figure out that it works fine when I make its priority Above
Normal, it was just some of my commands that were obsolete. I will put in a
new post a function that I really need.
