Here’s a screenshot of a digital stand displaying a dialog box asking for a user to enter the username and password.
- More than anything it’s just annoying and it’s covering part of the screen
- Users are unable to close the window because it’s not a touch screen
- The image is stuck on that particular slide. It won’t change until the dialog box is closed
- The dialog box is displaying the server name
- Always make sure that mapped drives are disconnected
You can do this by going into Windows Explorer and selecting Map Network Drive – Disconnect Network Drive
- Schedule System restarts so that the unit can load the screen again and hopefully play the content
- Monitor your system. We built a custom tool to display the content of the players in real time
- Hide dialog boxes and popups using registry settings or use a digital signage software package that always brings the software at the front.
