Problem on windows startup
«

So, I'm launching atrractmode on windows startup (placed the shorcut on the startup folder), but when entering windows, attract modes initiates but apparently on background of "something". I need to press ALT+TAB to get really into AM and move along the lists.

Any idea?

Chances are another program is opening or running in the background that is launched after Attract-Mode is launched when you boot. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish you could try one of these things.
1. create a simple batch file and put a delay in the batch file so Attract-Mode gets launched last.
2. create and run Attract-Mode as a service and used a delayed startup
3. boot Attract-Mode as the shell so there aren't other programs to interfere.

Yep, setting a delay solved the problem (5 seconds).
Nevertheless, I made an effort to improve the time from booting to entering AM, so I would like not to use this option.
I'll try also your 3rd option.
Thanks
