Windows 8 Start Problem
I have installed Cumulus to C:\Cumulus I am having problems getting Cumulus to start when windows starts, I have copied a shortcut to my Windows 8 Startup folder, this for some reason invokes two copies trying to start. So I tried adding it my run folder in my registry, this causes a error that states cannot write to cumulus.ini, this file is not flagged as read-only. I then tried to use windows scheduler to start it, I get the same error. I even tried to run it in windows 7 compatibility mode. I don't know what else to try, but I would like for the program to start up with windows. Thanks KC0WNY.

Re: Windows 8 Start Problem
After more testing, it appears that starting it with Windows Scheduler, by delaying the start time by 30 seconds works, no errors so far. Thanks

Re: Windows 8 Start Problem
there is also a free program called start up delay which works well if you want to run programs on start up may be some help to others.
