Scope 5.1 doesn't start on machine boot on Win7/64-bit

Hi All,
My old system, was Scope 5, WinXP, 32-bit and Scope used to start when the machine was booted and hide itself nicely in the background.
Scope 5.1, Win7, 64-bit doesn't and I can't find the knobs to twiddle to make it do that.
What am I missing?
cheers,
Chris

Hi there
Even if you have installed properly it wont show up on task bar but rather inside the hidden items icon on the task bar ...a small triangle .If not then reinstall .

I know it's not working 'cos I can't play any sound until I start Scope.
A re-install? Really?! That seems pretty extreme...
Any other suggestions?

you should add a line in the windows regisrty, under the "run" section
such as
c:\sfp\app\bin\scope.exe -s
in win XP using regedt was in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
-don't know about win7!
not sure right now also about the "-s" switch, that should start scope in minimized mode.
or put the link to scope app into the "autorun folder" - btw, is still there in win7??

This is how you do it:

But it won't work until you disable UAC (User account control) notifications. Even if it's set up to run as administrator.
Just sorted out this same problem myself...

In Windows 7,
1. Run REGEDIT.exe
2. Go to 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run'
3. Right-click & select 'New>String Value:'
4. Type in Value name: SonicCore SCOPE PCI or something like that which identifies the line in both here & in MSCONFIG.exe
5. Type in Value date: "C:\Program Files\SCOPE PCI\App\Bin\Scope.exe" -s
I've tried re-install, but that didn't do any good in terms of Startup project loading up when Windows starts. So I had to type the line in manually in REGEDIT.
Good luck!
