(Apologies if this issue and a solution has already been posted)
I recently done 2 upgrades (home and church) and have the same issue on both installations. The situation at church is critical for the reasons given in the last paragraph below. In both cases, a Hauptwerk short-cut is in the (Windows 7) startup folder so that it automatically loads. Occasionally, (and particularly when starting from a power up) as the computer tries to launch Hauptwerk, it stops and there is a pop-up critical warning that the Ilok PACE system cannot be found. Despite the fact that the message advises to restart the computer, I have found that, if I just close the pop-up and double-click on the Hauptwerk icon, everything then launches as normal.
I tried going to 'General Settings|Advanced Preferences' and setting a delay - but that has made no difference. I assume that the problem is that HW V is starting to launch before the ILok manager has inititalised.
Is anybody else getting this problem? Is there a solution or a work-round? Any suggestions please!
At the church we have a rota of organists. All the others are non-technical but critically, one of them is very elderly and blind. He will be on his own up having struggled up the organ gallery, and will expect HW to simply start-up and automatically load the first organ in the list. (He then uses the thumb pistons by feel to play.) He will not even be aware there is a problem and be unable to understand why nothing is happening. It's rather important we find a solution to this.
many thanks
