Wierd Start-up Issue

[Pulse]

Lately when i've turned my pc on its loaded my desktop and i've realised its got a 'tab' or whatever on the taskbar for speedfan, now it is set to minimize on startup, and reinstalling it did solve the problem for one startup afterwards but then it went back to its whacky ways.

the other thing is when i click it to open it, it doesnt show the percentage boxes for the fan speeds, only the adjusting buttons, it doesnt bother me that they dont show but the fact that its not loading properly does.

it also did it with another program, smiletray. but i just told that one not to launch. so having two programs do that all of a sudden leads me to think that its not just a program issue.

any help?

Check if it is set to startup by going Run > 'services.msc' (without the quotes) [Enter]. And checking there.

well neither of them are services, they are programs but yes they both start with windows but are left on the task bar rather then being minimized to the tray like they should be and have been doing upto about a week ago. nothing has changed on my system, no updates that i know of, nothing that would really effect its performance or anything, just these 2 programs get stuck when the computer loads windows.
