Without seeing the code, it is difficult to say. But I doubt that it is
related to your issues. Manipulate must have access to the appropriate
definitions in order to work, which if you're opening it in a fresh session it
might not. I would guess that adding the option SaveDefinitions->True to your
Manipulate will solve your problems.
