Title: no keyboard input when starting mgalaxy on startup (shell)
Post by: vectrex on March 14, 2014, 06:29:49 AM

First, great frontend!

I am making a cabinet, and still in the build fase. I am setting up a pc and I have the following problem.
Windows Xp pro, usb keyboard.
I have added mgalaxy in the regedit as the shell to start on startup, which it does.
Only problem is, that it doesn't accept any input. ctrl-alt-delete does work, and if i switch between taskmanager back to mgalaxy it accepts keyboard input.

Any idea's? Workaround is to put mgalaxy in th startup map, but i like the clean startup through the shell.

Have you some other applications launched after mGalaxy (they can be launched before but take more time to effectly run)?
If yes It s normal, on windows the last application take the focus (exept if this one is made to run on background like antivirus).

will check tomorrow if there are other programs running. I have stopped most services. For now I have put regedit back, and mgalaxy is in the startup map.

You are not alone with this problem > http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=21461
For me I see only 2 ways.
1 > a script to kill explorer.exe and reload it after mGalaxy exit.
2 > a script with a delay before launching mGalaxy.
