Application does not start when rebooted

[klewis10367]

I have an application(Script Logic) that is set to run when I log into my Windows XP SP2 machine. The script runs before the desktop is launched. The problem is that this is not happening when rebooted or starting from a shut down. However, If I am logged in to the computer and I log off and back in, the application runs. Is there any registry setting that I need to check to make sure the script runs when rebooted?

Thanks fot the reply, but the problem I have found out is related to ieee 802.1x authentication that we have implented. The boot is faster than the authentication therefore is not seeing the computers ip address fast enough therefore not launching the app that is on the network. Has any one seen this before?

Is it possible to add a pause to the boot sequence? That would work if it could be placed right before the program is to be launched. I wouldn't know how to go about it though. Maybe this will help:
