PVRX2 in Startup Folder Trouble

[mikeh49]

I've been ignoring this for a while, but the WAF is on a negative trend.

In my old XP setup I put a shortcut to PVRX2 in the start menu Startup folder and it worked fine to start PVRX2 on boot. I didn't pay any attention to which start menu (all users, HTPC user, etc), it just worked.

Now I'm in Win7 and when I put the PVRX2 shortcut in the user's Startup folder (the only one I can easily get to because of security), I end up with PVRX2 minimized to the taskbar and cannot get it to maximize (I have it set for full-screen in config). Hauppauge IR.exe is in the same startup folder, and it works OK. It has been this way since the first installation of GBPVR on a new Win7 install.

So, is this a Win7 security quirk, a problem with my basic Win7 install, or a PVRX2 quirk?

it may be starting up before it's dependencies are ready... may just want to add a delay in there..
you could use "delayedstart.exe 8000 pvrx2.exe" to delay by 8 secs.

might also wanna check to make sure no settings are saved in win virtual store too..
and be sure the working directory is set in shortcut...["start in" dir]

Does the tick/untick for "show in windowed mode" on the General tab of Config make a difference?
