Tom, This is because you have set jfw to run as a service. It starts before the desktop comes up. Its probably an issue of timing.

It takes a good minute or two to come up after I hear the Windows intro music. It's set to start automatically. I did some digging around in the Registry, as I'm not afraid to do such things, and I noticed that the call to JFW is placed in the run_services area instead of run_once or run_once_exe as was done in the past. Anybody else notice this?
