I've also got the same "doesn't load" problem (have to open Syst. Prefs., stop FP and restart it).
Of course Earthdesk loads on start up as well, but FP 2.5.1 (R.T.W.L) is last on the list of all (and I meanall: 37 items) my startup items.Yeah, the long list does considerable slow down my start up time, but it's still faster than starting everything up manually. If I don't have Edesk in the startup list, then instead of starting FP manually, I have to start Edesk manually (6, meet your twin half-dozen).
For info, I'm on 10.7.5 on a MBPro mid-2009, 8gb RAM.
Speaking of memory/CPU (like that segway?
), I've also noticed that when my machine starts up (and starts up, and starts up... 
), FP uses a hell of lot of CPU for a minute or 2:- Screen - Finderpop daemon.jpg (57.44 KiB) Viewed 3316 times
I like to think I know a lot about my Mac (and yes, pigs WILL one day fly
), but could there be a connection somehow?
