Party On!

(1/3) > >>

Goose:
I have Party On! in my start up directory so that it starts when windows begins.

Frobozz:
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is Party On?

Zipper:
It's a FE.

It sounds like your problem is that something is loading AFTER Party On when you start-up, and that is shifting focus away from it.
Maybe clear any unwanted stuff out of your Start-Up folder and see if that works. Maybe there is a way of re-ordering the sequence in which they load?
Hope this helps.

Yep, I had the same problem with PartyOn. I also had trouble getting focus back to PartyOn after launching some programs from it. I solved it was by creating an AutoIt script that restores focus to PartyOn.  You'll need to download AutoIt (great, free, simple to use scripting program for windows) at http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/  Download the AutoIt script I wrote from the Magma downloads section of my site at http://www.geocities.com/emu_skeleton/  

To use it on startup, launch PartyOn from a batch file along with the script. To use it when launching stuff from PartyOn, launch programs from a batch file with the start /wait option and place the script on the next line of the batch file. Example:
start /wait c:\fido\fido.exe
c:\AutoIt\AutoIt Partyon.aut

When "fido.exe" is done, the batch file will resume and restore focus to PartyOn. The software page on my site may explain this a little better.

This is sort of a clunky way to do it, but it works well for me.

Did you guys have any luck getting PartyOn to work with other emmulators? I could not get it to work with Mame32 and a few others...

Thanks
James
