Inactive monitor not always catching activity?

jeepfun · 2008-09-10 01:52

Hello there and thanks in advance for any help...

With that said, I'm trying to configure Shutter so that it starts with my Guest Account on logon and that after 10 min of inactivity it automatically logs off the guest account.

I configured everything to what I think is correct but when I configure it to start via Startup, the application starts fine but does not detect activity. Meaning no matter what I do (type, move mouse, etc), the inactive for timer doesn't reset to 0. If I stop Shutter and then start it again, it registers activity properly.

So my question is - can anyone else recreate and/or am I doing something wrong.

OS is Vista Ultimate 32bit. I'm getting similar activity when logging in to a non guest account.

Thanks
Vinny

I don't have Vista, and cannot have a deeper look into this problem...

But here are few suggestions:
* Try setting up Shutter to run under privileged user account, so called "Run As";
* Try setting up Shutter to run as a service, described here: Run Shutter as Service.

Tell us how it goes, ok?
