Playing your first presentation when Windows starts
1. From the main Repeat Signage screen, looks at the tabs near the top of the screen and select the 'Start up' tab. Click on the 'Settings' button. If you are prompted for a password, then enter your administrator password. There is no password by default. This should then display the 'System settings' form.
2. On the 'System setting' form it will load on the 'Windows start up' tab. You need to put a tick in the 'Automatically launch presentation (or playlist) on Windows start up'. Then click on the 'Add' button.
3. The 'Screen record' screen appears. Click on the 'Browse for
a presentation' button.
4. Click on the 'Browse' button and select 'First presentation.rsp'
(this was created with the Creating your
first presentation tutorial) and then click on the 'Open' button to return
to the 'Select presentation file' screen.
5. Click on the OK button to close
this screen, then OK again on the 'System setting' screen to set Windows to load
this file automatically when Windows starts.
6. You can test this by restarting Windows now.
When you restart Windows, you will usually be prompted to select a user
name or enter a username and password. After doing this, Windows will load
all of its start up programs, such as anti-virus software, and will then
display your presentation. See Playing your first presentation
for how to keep Repeat Signage on top of other programs.
You can remove the Windows logon screen if you need to make Repeat Signage load
by just turning on the computer. See Windows
start up - Removing the log on screen.
You may also need to Disable Windows screen saver and monitor standby.
