The new version of QuickACCESS has been posted. After it is open, navigate to System Tray Icon > Calibration Extras > Launch QuickACCESS on Windows Start, and make sure it is checked. Then when the computer is restarted, QuickACCESS should launch automatically.

While QuickACCESS is running, click on the QuickACCESS icon in the system tray located in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then click on the "Extras" menu and a window will pop up. Check the box called "Run QuickACCESS on Windows Startup" so that QuickACCESS will run every time you start the computer. If for some reason the "Run QuickACCESS on Windows Startup" check box is grayed out then run right click on the QuickACCESS icon and click on properties and click on the "Run as Administrator" box. |
