Retrospect 5.1 not launching

[jimshan]

I'm running Retrospect 5.1 Desktop on an iMac w/ OS 10.3.3. Retrospect stopped launching automatically. Below is the Dantz Tech Note I found that supposedly fixes it. However at one point it says:

 

"Launch Retrospect, set all the Special>Preferences to "use default".

 

I find no such setting - so can't do that. FYI: iMac is NOT set to sleep.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Here's the Dantz Tech note:

 

--------

1) If the script is written correctly, but Retrospect is not automatically launching, then Retrospect should attempt to run the script after the program is manually launched.

 

2) If the user manually launches Retrospect and the script does not try to run automatically then the script schedule may not be configured correctly.

 

If the script is written correctly, then try the following:

 

Go to Special>Preferences in Retrospect 5.x for Macintosh

 

Select Notification and uncheck all available options (you can leave "Animate Dock Icon" turned on)

 

Next go to Unattended and set the option to "Stay in Retrospect".

 

Restart the computer and retrorun will no longer load at system startup

 

Launch Retrospect, set all the Special>Preferences to "use default".

 

Restart the computer again.
