XP MCE: startup programs dont start

Hi-

Whenever I turn on or restart my computer, my startup programs (such as AVG and Creative Volume Panel) will randomly start or sometimes not start at all. I've tried startup control software such as ashampoo winoptimizer and the good old msconfig, all to no avail.

Any suggestions? thanks!

 

just in case this helps, here is my HijackThis log file:
