Inconsistent loading of Systray programs

Has anyone figured out yet why various programs in the Startup group which should end up in the Systray sometimes load and sometimes do not? There is no particular pattern to this, although some programs fail to load more often than others.
For example, Windows Live OneCare has a service connected with it, and about a third of the time I cold boot the computer OneCare doesn't start, gives me a message that the service hasn't started, and I have to go to Services and start it manually. This isn't a problem, but it is an inconvenience. (The OneCare Live support people tell me to go through the process of disabling all the startup programs and non-Microsoft services and add them in, one by one to see which one is interfering. Besides being cumbersome and tedious, this process probably wouldn't solve a problem that is somewhat random.)
There are other programs that don't load from time to time, but they are different each time. I may have from 5 to 10 program icons in the SysTray on any given boot.
How do you troubleshoot an issue like this? Or is it just something that is characteristic of XP?
