T1 Freezes at startup

[Adamastor]

Hi,

I have a computer with T1 instaled in a theater, and at least unce a week I have problems at starup
After the "I agree question" the software don't finish the startup, I need to restar the conputer, same times more than one time.

I have a asus et2002 20'' touchscreen
It's working with winXP
I alredy reinstaled a new windows with just T1 installed and the problem keep apenning
I'm conected with a mobile console (still waithing for the dongle)
I have the T1software automatic initializating at windows starup

someone?

Maybe this is the problem. After booting, Windows needs its time to initialise some services and peripheral devices, including USB ports. Try disabling the Autostart, and start it manually, allowing for some seconds to initialise. If you succeed this way, you may change the autostart by inserting some wait time.

I admit this is just a guess, but would be my first approach of debugging.

and how do I insert same wait time?

That was one of my first thoughts,
did anyone had any problems with winXP?

There is plenty of information out there on delaying programs at startup. They all essentially boil down to using a batch file. Ready, steady, Google...

Nic's right.

With LMGTFY you'll also find a little app, which avoids you programming a batch file.

Hi,

I had made a .bat file for a 10sec delay and it seems that it solves the problem...

Another thing,
Same times the T1 don't inicializate the last auto-save and starts a new show... how can I solve this?

I'm not sure why this is sometimes not working.

If you want to always load the same file then you can use the showfile itself to launch the application which will force it to load that show. To do that you need to ensure the file is set to open with the T1 application (right-click the showfile/properties/opens with/change.... and point it at the T1 executable) then insert the full path of the showfile in the batch file instead of the exe. Make sure you enclose the path within speech marks (") otherwise any spaces will stop it from working.

There might be a better way but this seems to work ok.
