With SuperNova 12 set to run automatically, or by starting it manually, the Supernova splash screen does not appear and SuperNova fails to load. Looking in the Windows Task Manager under the Processes tab reveals the SuperNova process is not starting.

TAB into the list of Windows services. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to locate the service called "Dolphin Cbar Service 2".
4. Press ENTER. The "Dolphin Cbar Service 2 Properties" dialog box opens.
5. TAB to the "Startup Type" list box and use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to select "Automatic".
NB: Ensure the "Startup Type" is set to just "Automatic" and NOT "Automatic (Delayed Start)".
6. TAB to the "Stop" button and press SPACEBAR. This will stop the service.
7. TAB to the "Start" button and press SPACEBAR. This will start the service.
8. Press ALT + F4. This will close the "Dolphin Cbar Service 2 Properties" dialog box.
