[2005] Application Settings Blank After Restart?

I have an application that I wrote that uses the My.Application.Settings to store information. I have also set this application to run on startup by adding it to the registry start up.

When I restart my computer the application starts up after the OS starts but it doesn't seem to load the Application Settings, I know this because some of the information from the appication settings is necessary for this application to run.

Now if I close the application and restart it, it loads the application settings and starts up correctly.

Is there anyway to combat this problem?

How do you know it doesn't load the application Settings?

Because I have error checking done to start the application on startup. I have predefiend text boxes that pull data from the application settings. And they are blank.
