Mobydock Doesn't Always Load @ Startup.

I have Mobydock in my startup folder.

One of three things happen.

1) It starts OK.

2) I get an error message as Mobydock starts (seems to conflict with something).

3) No error message and MD doesn't start.

What causes this?

Why not add an option to MD to "Load as Windows starts"?

What error message do you get?

When I first installed Mobydock and ran it manually, I too noticed that it wouldn't start. I actually tried to run it 3 times and when I checked the Task Manager, I saw that it was running 3 times yet I still saw nothing. I rebooted and then everything went smoothly. For loading on startup, I just put a shortcut to it in my Startup folder. I'm on XP.

I have a Moby shortcut in my startup folder and have seen the error and non-visible startup on very rare occasion. I think the one time it started with an error was when my ISP email server was down and it tried to connect to it while starting up and got confused.

The times where it has started (shows up in task manager processes) but isn't visible I haven't been able to identify a cause for, but in months of use that's happened maybe two times...

Same to me. I must navigate in the startmenu -> Startup folder and start MD. Then works OK.
