Is it only when QM runs automatically at Windows startup? How when you run it directly (double click c:\program files\quick macros 2\qm.exe), or using a shortcut?
If only at startup, what shows this macro in the output?
str s
rget s "Quick Macros" "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
out s

Please right click one of these shortcuts and select Properties. What is in the Target field?

Like QM would be corrupted. Try to reinstall QM. If it does not help, try to replace the target field to
C:\Progra~1\QuickM~1\qm.exe

Ok.
You can install QM 2.1.8. It displays command line errors in the output pane, not in message box.

newest version:
QM command line error:
i made a new macro without any code and created a shortcut on desktop,
pdf does not show an error.
but jpg or rar throws the error.
it seems that a lot of file extensions are rejected by qm.
how to fix?
win 7 64bit

when i drop files on the shortcut qm shows the error.
the weird thing is that when dropping pdf and zip there is no error,
but with jpg and many other extensions.
i have not touched the commandline for the macro shortcut.
"C:\Program Files\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro11"

Look in QM help, command line. M "macro" "data". On drop, file path is data. If path is without spaces, Explorer does not add "", and then it is wrong QM command line (M "macro" data).
In command line use C or A.
"C:\Program Files\Quick Macros 2\qmcl.exe" M "Macro11" A 1
Macro
Macro11
function !isShortcut $path
out path
