script not running automatically

[ccassidy]

i have a script running on most LT 2008 systems automatically but it wont on one computer, everything is set-up the same way. when i type script in the command line i can run it then, but i dont want to be doing this each time. Can anyone enlighten me what may be the problem

How is the "automatic" function triggered?
From the startup link (desktop icon, etc)?

i have the following AutoLISP to kick start it:

(setq oldfiledia (getvar "FILEDIA")) ;Save value of FileDia system variable
(setvar "FILEDIA" 0) ;Set FileDia to 0 to use command prompt only
(command "_SCRIPT" "C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\AUTOCAD LT 2008\\SUPPORT\\scalelist.scr") ;Run the script
(setvar "FILEDIA" oldfiledia) ;Set FileDia back to previous value
(setq oldfiledia nil) ;Clear variable used for FileDia

the computer isnt seeing the files as AutoLISP Application Source, just notepad files. I think this is the problem

1 - no version of LT will run lisp unless you have a 3rd party add-on.
2 - "hide extensions for known filetypes" needs to be unchecked in Windows folder options otherwise a file saved from Notepad as "file.lsp" will actually be saved as "file.lsp.txt".

i have checked the file extensions and its ok, the computer reconginizes that its a .LSP file but not an autolisp application source.

You keep mentioning "lisp" and you keep mentioning "LT". Do you have a 3rd party application that allows the use of lisp in LT?

i have it on several LT user computers and it works fine without a 3rd party application. its just this one computer

As above - "No version of LT will run lisp unless you have a 3rd party add-on."
