XLights on start up
« on: December 19, 2012, »
Is there any way to make the scheduler start when windows starts up? I can get Xlights to start by putting a shortcut in the startup folder (WinXP) but my show won't start unless I open the scheduler.

If you are running the latest version it is now an all in one program that has all functions included. If not you should check it out.

Running 2012d. It didn't start tonight until I clicked on the schedule tab. Run schedule box was checked and program was open when I did my "power failure" test.

I have a shortcut to 2012d in my startup folder and xlights starts fine and runs a schedule.  Be sure the RUN SCHEDULE box is checked when you xLights is closed.

I'll download it again and reinstall. Then give it a go again.
