iCam Support / Re: Auto-restarting iCamSource after PC restart

Thanks for the reply.

Using the Startup folder ties the application's lifetime to the user's login. When the user logs into Windows the app is started. When he logs out, the app terminates. I am looking for a way to start iCamSource whenever the PC is started and have it remain running through logins and log outs.

Thanks.

iCam Support / Auto-restarting iCamSource after PC restart

« on: July 18, 2009, 11:27:37 AM »

I'm looking for a way to automatically restart iCamSource after the PC restarts. I'm striving for "set it and forget it" maintenance. Is there any built-in setting for this function?

I attempted to use Vista's (Home Premium) Task Scheduler without much success. I created a new task to start "C:\Program Files (x86)\iCamSource\iCamSource.exe". The task is triggered at system startup. When it's run under SYSTEM or LOCAL_SERVICE account iCanSource starts (see it in task manager) but doesn't seem to function. When attempting to use a user account, I get an error - "Task Scheduler failed to start "\iCam utility" task for user "Vysk4\Randy". Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943726."

As a aside, after starting iCamSource interactively I used Task Manager to view the iCamSource's memory usage. It oscillates from 43MB to 125MB every 10 seconds or so. Seems weird but it works.

Any help is appreciated!
