Description Wallace Lai 2008-02-20 12:04:58 UTC

System Info:  Gateway, P4, 2.0 GHz, 1.25 GB of RAM, Win 2K SP4 ENU
SC Version:  SC 7.0 nightly from 2008-02-19

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install SC 7.0.
2.  After the install, notice SC does not start automatically like in XP and Vista.
3.  Reboot the PC.
4.  Notice SC does not start automatically like in XP and Vista.
5.  Bring up the popup menu in SlimTray.
6.  Notice the item about auto start SC at log in is not checked.  In XP and Vista, this menu item is checked by default.

Work Around:
Check the SLimTray menu item for auto starting SC at log in, and everything will be fine.

Note:  By itself, how SC works on Win 2K is fine.  It gives customers a choice.  However, was there a decision sometimes ago that SC would start automatically by default?

Works for me. I really start thinking your "clean" Win 2k installation image has some issues: installed Win2k, installed SC7, set it to start as service, rebooted. SC7 was up and running.

BTW: there's no "start at login" check in SqueezeTray any more. Either you're using a very old version, or something else is borked.

The workaround is easy enough.  Just bring up the tray menu and check the appropriate item to get SC started after boot.
Targeting this to the future.

BTW, this Win 2K version had been installed on 80+ test PCs in another BU.  I never heard of any complain against the image itself.
