Problem of executing .scp file at startup in XP

hi,

I have 'msched' process running all the times in background. I have created a macro script and copied to Windows\...\startup folder. After system gets rebooted, I expect the copied script to be executed automatically.

But, 3 out of 5 times, copied script doesnt get executed automatically. When I kill the background 'msched' process, copied script gets executed. Please help me in executing the copied script, even when background 'msched' process is running.

thanks
jiby

How are you running the script? This might be the issue.

Another method would be to compile the script into an EXE and put that EXE into the startup folder.

If you want the macro to run on startup you do not need to copy anything to the startup folder. Assuming Macro Scheduler is already set to run on startup just go into Macro Properties for the macro in question, click on the "Run When" tab and then click on "Advanced Options" and then check "Run Immediately Anyway" under "When System Restarts". It will now run when Macro Scheduler starts.
