Problem automatically launch appliaction

Problem automatically launch appliaction

Why would I not be able to launch a program automatically but if I execute it then it works no problem?

We have someone that wants to use a looping slideshow and we have an extra D90D7 that we want to use for this. Powerpoint Viewer is installed and I can run the slideshow any number of ways if I execute it. However if I create a schedule task for it, launch it as a startup item, as alternate shell or just any method where I am not physically moving the mouse and double-clicking it myself it does not work. I started with Powerpoint Viewer 2010 and kept getting "There was an error accessing slideshow.pptx." Since Viewer 2007 was the only one listed on the compatible app page for WES7 I switched to that and I saw that error one time but mostly it just opens up to a white screen and does not run the file.

Well oddly enough i fixed it myself by changing the powerpoint file to a pps file.
