    Do you wait for it to load? maybe it's a gadget problem, look at the comments to see if anyone else is having problems like this. Or you just don't have on "start up when system starts up" option.

    u have any gadgets that must access internet? if that is the case, sometimes it would get stuck and cannot recuperate because the connection was not up before the gadget started. This happens with other "docks" as well, and not limited to vista sidebar

    as always, my wild guess

    cheers ...
