Sharepoint workflow doesnt started automatically

I recently experienced this issues with my custom work flow designed using share point designer. Work flow didn't started automatically even though option was selected.

After doing a little research I found that issue was due to a security fix in WSS 3.o SP1

1. The Windows SharePoint Services Web application runs under a user's domain account.
2. The user logs in by using this domain account.
3. The site displays the user name as System Account.
