Member grunewaldmedia Posted January 16, 2023 Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Question about the autostart script When I start Watchpoint.exe Display-PC in the task manager, the start script is not executed. For example authenticate 1 delay 3000 setLogoString "Start Show delay 5000 load "Stockholm_Mainshow wait run If I link a Watchpoint.exe shortcut to the Windows Autostart "C:\Users\admin\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup", the display PC starts the show correctly. Does anyone know the problem and is there a solution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know the problem and is there a solution? First off, lines 3 and 5 are errors as they are missing the trailing double quote mark. A possible cause of a failed autostart.txt script execution is an error in the shortcut that starts watchpoint.exe If the shortcut "Starts In" field is incorrect, watchpoint will not find the script, as that entry tells watchpoint where to find the script file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member grunewaldmedia Posted January 16, 2023 Author Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The mistake with the inverted commas only happened to me when writing in the forum. The autostart file is correct: authenticate 1 delay 5000 setLogoString "Waiting for system to load...... Please Wait." delay 5000 load "Stockholm_Mainshow" wait run 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
