Macro Scheduler 11 on bootup instead of Latest Ver. 14

Post by evangelmike » Thu Jan 02, 2014 12:01 am

Greetings! I have the latest Version of Macro Scheduler (14.0.18) on my Windows 7 Computer. Approx. every third time I boot up, there appears:
Macro Scheduler News Feed
Macro Scheduler 11 opening screen with all my old Version 11 macros under the Macro Column.
And Macro Scheduler 14 is "hidden" until I boot up again.
When I click on Start and then on Macro Scheduler 14 from the start menu, Macro Scheduler 11 opens with a listing of all my old Macro Scheduler macros.
The problem may be caused by my not uninstalling Macro Scheduler 11 before installing Macro Scheduler 14.
Selecting "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features" Macro Scheduler 14 is listed with the installed programs but not Macro Scheduler 11. So I can't even uninstall Macro Scheduler 11. How do I fix this problem such that Macro Scheduler 14 appears on bootup and not Macro Scheduler 11. I spend a lot of time rebooting waiting for Macro Scheduler 14 to appear.
May you have a blessed day!

It's just a shortcut in your Startup program group. Delete the existing Macro Scheduler one there, and then add a new one for Macro Scheduler 14. Or simply modify the existing shortcut and point it to the v14 program folder.

Need Help: two possible items I can modify

Post by evangelmike » Sat Jan 04, 2014 1:21 am

Greetings! I ran msconfig.exe and selected the Startup Tab.
There are two possible items I can modify. I was not sure how or if I should modify these. Your help will be greatly appreciated. These items are:

Startup Item 1: msched.exe - Shortcut
Command: C:\Users\me\Desktop\MACSCH~1.06V\msched.exe
Location: C:\Users\me...Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Startup Item 2: Macro Scheduler
Command: C:\PROGRA~1\MACROS~1\msched.exe
Location: C:\ProgramData\...Programs\Startup
May you have a blessed day!
