Just got a Powermate control knob for my new Windows 7 x64 PC, installed the 2.0.1 driver downloaded from the Griffin site, unzipped, installed.

Hi RobI tried copying the shortcut for the Manager to the Startup folder. The app started up when I logged on but turning the PowerMate had no effect on the volume. But once I opened the PowerMate Editor the PowerMate started working. All a bit strange.For now I’ve setup a scheduled task to run the PowerMate.exe whenever I logon.

Griffin Powermate Review

Ideally I’d like the executable to run whenever anyone logs on to the PC. Hp pavilion won't charge battery. I’m an administrator but other users of this PC are non-administrators.Could you check to see if you have “Run on startup” checked for the application, and whether that has created a scheduled task?Thanks Rob! Hi Doug, sorry it’s taken me a while to get back to you. Which app do you need to have in focus, the Griffin app or Media Player?

I’ve just tested it on mine and it seems to work regardless of whether they are in focus or not. I can only think that there’s possibly two applications that can accept those controls running at the same time (possibly iTunes running in the background?) so it relies on which is in focus to know where to direct the shortcut. Just my thinking anyway but not sure how it really works. What media player software are you running? I tested with the standard Windows Media Player included with 10.I occasionally see the odd glitch where the knob will stop responding when the PowerMate software is minimized to the tray, usually just opening it and minimizing it again is enough to get it working again but sometimes I have to unplug the knob and plug it in again. Mine does have a very damaged cable though where it has worn from being flexed, I assumed this was the cause in my case. I’ve been using the Powermate for years on my windows computer, currently on Windows 10 and it worksperfectly.

I use it as a volume control. Occasionally, I would experience a situation where the Powermatewould suddenly stop working and this required that I unplug and plug in the Powermate, after which it resumed working. However, since installing a solid state drive on my PC, I have no more problem with this. Maybe it has something to do with how quickly the drivers load on boot-up. Not sure, but I am happy.
