I had this working before, but nothing seems to work now. I have the start with Windows box checked in the Mala configuration, I have the program marked as run as administrator, I have the shortcut properties set to Windows 95 compatibility mode and run as administrator, and the shortcut is in my Windows startup folder. When Windows starts, it of course shows the desktop, and I get the circle spinny thing, followed by two error sounds. Is the taskbar interfering? I haven't tried hiding it yet. I am not doing any registry hacks or instantsheller stuff. I really did have this working before.
