Dongle not recognized at startup

[Gertjan]

Hello all,

I would like to have the catalyst application automatically start at system start-up. I have now added the catalyst application as login Item in the user panel, and in a way this works. The application gets started at start-up but the dongle is not recognized, I have to quit the application and then restart again and then everything runs fine.

I looked around on the forum and found some scripts but couldn't get them to work for me.

Has anybody experienced the same problem and found a way around it?

O yes, I?m running OS 10.4.8 and catalyst 4.06_m97UB_HD on a MacPro.

I appreciate any help on this.

Thank you.

Dongle driver also loads at startup - so you have to delay catalyst startup -

I think simon pugsley wrote an applescript to do this.

I found the scripts, thank you Simon.

I only needed to dive into the script editor help file to figure out how I could get the script to run at start up.
In the end it turned out to be as simple as opening the .scpt file and re-saving it as an application with the run option set.

Now it works fine. Thanks for the help.

Hello

Sorry - been away - back now (brr...its cold in the uk!!!......)

My little script does seem to solve this issue as mentioned above. However, you may have to edit it, depending upon the path/location of the catalyst folder and version.

1) Download:
http://chaldee1.gotadsl.co.uk/~richardb/upload/attachment.php?attachmentid=196&d=1147824683

There are a number of scripts and apps in the zip file that work for specific versions of catalyst (some now quite old..... as I haven't updated them)
Once downloaded, open 'Catalyst delay loader silent 3-4.02_m40Pro' as a starter - the one with the 'square page' icon - not the 'script' icon.
Script icon = app
Page Icon = editable verion


2) Open 'Catalyst delay loader silent 3-4.02_m40Pro' in script Editor

3) find the line:
tell application "Catalyst 4.02_m40Pro"

4) delete the 'Catalyst 4.02_m40Pro' - but leave the quotes ""

5) Compile the script

6) A Browse box will appear - browse to the path/location of the version of catalyst you are using (ie m97_UBHD), and 'choose' the catalyst application

7) SaveAs, 'Delay loader v4' - in the catalyst application folder
Use settings:
File Format: Application
Options: Run Only (no startup, no stay open options)

(If you use file option 'Script', no options, this will save an editable non-executable version for archive purposes)

8) Open system prefs, Accounts, Startup Items
Add the script you just saved (hide if desired)

(the script is the one with the 'script icon' and will launch the application - If you SaveAs a 'script' - this is only an editable 'archive' version, not executable - 'square page' icon)

9) Close System Prefs

10) DONE!


You can test the script before restart by double clicking the newly created script, in the catalyst folder (one with the script icon...) and it should launch catalyst.

Any problems, do drop me a line, and I can talk you though it.
