FS Autostart setup ?
Posted: Wed Aug 22, 2007 1:36 pmHey Guys, wishing you a nice day,
I need help as I must be doing something wrong when trying to setup and use FS Autostart. I keep reading the instructions [ seven printed pages I've found here and there ]. I just can't seem to get it right. Here's what's happening ;
I study the services and those I wish to stop, I do so in the "action" column to stop & restart.
I haven't touched any of the "Programs" modules with the exception of my anti-virus program which in the action column - - stop & restart.
In the "Configure" section is where I think I'm messing-up but don't know what to do about changing it. The Profile Description; " This is the default profile" should I change this to something else and if so - - -what ?
In the path to app; I have c:\program file\microsoft games\microsoft Flight SimulatorX
The "Command Line" I've left blank.
The "Process Priority" I have; Above normal.
I don't understand the block; "This is not the main app"
The delay before auto starting other programs; 60 seconds.
All the other blocks listed in "Miscellaneous options" I've left alone - - not knowing what to do.
The last section; auto launch the following - - - I've left blank , again because I don't know what to do.
Then I clicked "Save".
When I click start; I'm asked ; Do you wish to close the FSautostart GUI before launching. Sometimes I click yes or No - - -I don't see any difference !!
To run a check on myself, I again open "FSautostart" only to see my "stop & restart" are still running , after I launch FSX.
Perhaps others are having these problems also and are too shy to ask for help. I really earn my name "caveman".
Sorry for being so long-winded but I just wanted to explain this the best way I could. Thanks for your help and patience.
