starting the script and then opening party doesnt work for me,but the other way round is ok.

Yep, this script doesn't work like most AHK scripts: basically you just have to run it once to send a command to turn off the PartyBets bar and then you're done until the next time you run Party.

If you want to have a version that you run before starting Party then you can try this:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>; PartyBets scrolling-spam killer v2
; ==================================
; Simply run this app to kill the CPU hogging PartyBets scrolling-spam bar.
; - CPU usage on my machine goes from 5%-25% spikes right down to constant 0%-1%!
; - Must run this *BEFORE* starting Party.
; - If it fails sometimes try increasing the sleep timeout from 1000ms.

; ### You might have to increase this value if it fails sometimes. ###

If you find that sometimes it doesn't work then you'll need to change the line which says "Sleep, 1000" to use a larger value than 1000ms.
