Modernfx Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I am building a cabinet and using BigBox as the front end and also setting it to replace the Windows shell per the options menu. The issue is that I have the Sinden application on start up along with JoyToKey and a Pedal software and this causes BigBox to freeze. It does not load. It says on the BigBox splash screen. Once I remove the Sinden software as a startup application it starts without issues. I should mention that if I just load the Sinden software with no other software to the system tray BigBox loads. It seems that if I try to run any other software on start up with the Siden software, that's when it freezes. Any idea? Thank you Edited July 14, 2023 by Modernfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCalls Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Are you setting the Sinden sw to as a startup app within LB or in windows startup apps? Win + R type shell:startup Is anything in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modernfx Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Start up app within LB. Yes, I have JoyToKey and Pedal Software as well start up apps. Edited July 14, 2023 by Modernfx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCalls Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 hmm ok. not sure then. i have 2 instances of sinden & ucr starting at boot and no issues. are you sure bb is freezing up or is it just not active? if bb isn't active it appears to be frozen. if you alt+tab is bb ok then? if so, you have something stealing focus.

Modernfx Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) OK, so I decided to do a completely new install on another machine that I have. The difference is this other machine is running Windows 10 whereas the machine I am having an issue with is Windows 11. On the Windows 10 machine, BigBox loaded with no issues including running the start-up apps which include the Sinden software. Not really sure if its a windows 10 vs windows 11 issue. I am running into control issue on the new install but I'll do a different post related to that. What OS is your install running on?

PiperCalls Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I have 4 installs. 3 are win10 & 1 is win11. I only use shell on 2 of them but 1 is win10 & 1 is win11. Win11 has some weird quirks in general. It kept muting audio on emulators after I would exit a game. Crap like that, that makes no sense.
