SpaceMatch DCM LUT auto-load at user log on.

Hi,

I've been following the SpaceMatch DCM User Guide but I'm having no luck using Windows 7's Task Scheduler to apply a LUT with SpaceMatch DCM when a user log on.

Just like in SpaceMatch DCM User Guide:
- SpaceMatch DCM is installed at the following location "C:\SpaceMatch\SpaceMatch.exe"
- The LUT is named lut.txt.
- lut.txt is in the same folder as the SpaceMatch.exe. (C:\SpaceMatch\lut.txt)
Paths


There's only one display attached to this PC. I can see it's "display 0" when manually launching SpaceMatch DCM.
Display 0

If I don't add any Command Line Operators (arguments according to Windows Task Scheduler), SpaceMatch will launch as expected without loading a LUT but if I add Command Line Operators (arguments) "/l lut.txt /d 0" in order to have this LUT applied automatically I get this error:
IO Failure

T ask Scheduler

Any idea?
Danny

Ok, for some reason, if I delay the trigger (at log on) by 1 minute it works. If I don't add a delay, it looks like the LUT is loaded before my graphic card driver is initialized, well that's a guess.

Quite possibly.
All down to the startup procedure of your PC configuration, I guess.
I have mine set to run At Startup - works perfectly.
(I always have 'Start in (optional)' set.)

I've also updated some info on the User Guide, to help those less 'Windows' knowledgeable.

"At Startup" doesn't work for me, I guess I would need to put a higher delay value.

I'm using "At log on" with a delay of 2 seconds and that's exactly what I get.

I enter my user password at the Windows log on screen, press enter and 2 seconds later I see the LUT being applied to my display, voilĂ !

Oh, I forgot, Thanks for your support Steve, the "Start in" action is not that optional after all.
