All,
I recently decided to install my Rockwell apps onto my windows 7 environment (previously running XP in a VM).
After I installed everything, I notice that when I log on to my computer, RSLinx does not start.
I do not want RSLinx to start as a service, but as an application. I can start the application just fine when using the RSLinx Control Panel, unchecking the "Always run as service" box, and Starting the application. The RSLinx icon then appears in the System tray and I can open and close the program without actually shutting down Linx.
However, if I do not use the Control Panel and just click on the RSLinx shortcut, the application will open with a Splash Screen, and then when I exit the program completely shuts down.
UAC is disabled.
How to I enable RSLinx to start up automatically as a background application?
The odd thing is, a co-worker on Windows 7 had absolutely no problems with this: he installed and Linx automatically starts in his system tray. I check the SERVICES.MSC for both our computers and RSLinx is not set to start up automatically (it is Manual), and MSCONFIG shows that RSLinx is not configured as a Start Up program.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
