Title: Trouble starting Mala with windows
Post by: austin_21b on August 18, 2008, 10:45:48 am

I want to start Mala with windows and shutdown the computer when I exit. I have the shutdown working correctly, but I can't get it to start with Windows. I found the box under GUI to checkmark "Start with windows", but when I select hit and hit okay to exit the options, I get an error saying Mala must quit. Check mala.exe.log for details. What is going on here? I also cant find the Mala.exe.log in my Mala folder.
Windows Vista home premium

Never mind, I put a shortcut in the startup folder and everything is working now.

Start with windows option attempts to put something in the windows registry.(The only bit of MaLa that touches the registry

They may not be compatible with Vista. I will have to check.

Yeah but as you have discovered you can put a shortcut in startup or run windows mala as the shell.

Note that if you are using a KeyWiz in conjunction with MALA, you will likely uncover another bug.  See this thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=81925.msg870714#msg870714) for more details.
