Hi,
I recently got a new PC and decided to put the old one in our guestroom as a HTPC.
I set up Win7 and installed MePo, everything running perfectly, except that MePo won't autostart with windows though the option is checked. The Windows-Autologon is for a User with restriced access. I gave the admin password to configure MePo, I gave write access to c:\programdata\team mediaportal\ as well as c:\programs [x86]\Team MediaPortal\
This is a client only installation.
When I log in as admin, everything works as intended regarding autostart.
As a workaround, I put MePo in the Autostart folder, this also works...but I'd like to understand why the option fails and if there's a workaround.
