Joel Limin Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I have this problem with my Watchout display computers for a long time (Watchout 4.5.1 version). How can i make the watchpoint to start automatically once my computer finish booting up? I tried to reinstall the program, but it's giving me the same problem. Hope you guys can help me fix this problem. Thank you very much! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxav Daniel Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi Problem Solved? I would try to use the "autostart" Folder and start the Watchpoint with no logo (as admin?) Never tried this way, because after each reboot I am asked for IP Settings (3rd party tool) and have to click "OK" and then start Watchout manually Greetings Daniel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dataton Partner Walter Posted November 21, 2014 Dataton Partner Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use a simple program called StartupDelay. Easy, no knowledge of scripting needed, all options available. And freeware 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think Joel is asking for the "usual" way to make a Display PC autostart into WATCHOUT Display/Watchpoint, no? ie placing a shortcut to Watchpoint in Windows Startup folder. That's all one need to do, on a properly configured system. Daniel: A Display PC should always be run as Administrator...please see the Tweaklist. If you run a lot of other setups on the same machine, you're on your own a bit... I usually use separate OS:es/SSD:s when doing this, to avoid issues. A 2,5" multi disk cage in the front of the machine helps a lot here /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Or maybe use this feature in WATCHOUT? (does not help in 4.5.1, I know...) from the WATCHOUT 5.5 Release Notes: Startup Delay A command line option is added to the display software, allowing a delay to be introduced when the software is started. This may occasionally help in avoiding start-up problems, by delaying the start of the display software until things have settled down. To use this feature, append -Delay 3 to the shortcut used to start the display software ("WATCHPOINT.EXE"), where 3 is the desired delay in seconds. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
