[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 36579, member: 18181"] Ok, the problem is *probably* caused by MP taking too much CPU time and the wireless driver isn't responding fast enough durring the connection process. There is a simple way around this... well... sorta simple. You launch a program that waits for however long the network normally takes to connect and then it launches MP. Great if you are a programmer right? Actually, there is a simple scripting tool called AutoIt that lets you do something like this with just 2 lines of code, it's free and it can generate executables. I use this program at work to automate the launch, login and setup of programs used for remote video security. I have it lauching web pages, loading programs, moving windows, clicking on buttons, typing logins... all sorts of stuff. It's very slick and pretty easy to learn. Here's the website: [url]http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/[/url] I think the script you'd need would look something like this: ;------------------------------------ ;AutoIt 3 script to delay and then launch MediaPortal ;build into an executable and then place in the startup folder. ;------------------------------------ ;sleep for 2 minutes. (Fine tune for your startup. 1000 = 1 sec) Sleep(120000) ;launch MediaPortal. (Check the path and executable name) Run ( "C:\Program Files\TeamMediaPortal\MediaPortal\MP.exe", "" ) ;Done! ;------------------------------------ [/QUOTE]
