EG not started on system startup

Post by burchis »

I am running Windows 7 Pro and not having any luck getting EG to auto start. The program shortcut is in the start folder and the folder properties list the correct path to start the program. MSConfig shows that EG is supposed to start but it doesn't. If I manually start it all is well but everytime I reboot EG is not loaded. What am I doing wrong?

Do you have the checkbox ticked under EG File / Options to start? Tried running as admin?

I can't get EG to auto start when using W8. All the checkmarks are set but EG doesn't start unless I login which is a problem for me if the computer happens to restart in the middle of the night for the many different reason.

Does anyone know how to get EG to autostart without having to login when using windows 8 (home/not prot)?

Thanks in advance!

To run EventGhost before you login, I think you need to run EventGhost as a service. Found a discussion here.
