Run LinkCÉT With Task Scheduler

Download PDF:  KB0407

Summary
I have just updated my workstations from Windows XP to Windows 7.  After installing LinkCÉT on Windows 7, I find that the keyboard and mouse functionality is not working properly on my Composite LINK System.

Details
Due to the enhanced security measures built into Windows Vista or newer (7, 8, etc) certain keyboard and mouse features provided by LinkCÉT will not work.  To get full functionality, please do the following.

  1. Open Task Scheduler by typing “task” into the Start Menu search bar and hitting Enter or by going to All Programs – Accessories – System Tools – Task Scheduler
