Watchout won't autostart with task manager

Hello,

 

I'm trying to set an autostart on a show.

It works fine when it is launched at Power-on by the windows start menu with the file autoWO.exe.

 

 

 

 

 

But,

 

When I try to set the same parameters in windows task manager, Watchpoint starts but stays on the logo splashscreen and wait. The show don't start.

 

 

 

Did I miss something?

 

Thank you for your help

Jean-Luc,

 

To me, this is how to do it:

 

Add a shortcut to WATCHOUT Display in Autostart folder

 

Start WATCHOUT Display software

Ctrl + W/File/Edit Startup Script

 

Create a script like this (WATCHOUT 5.2 Users Guide/Display Cluster Protocol/P259)

 

authenticate 1

setLogoString "The show will begin shortly"delay 5000load "MyShow"waitrun
