S2E with Link2SD make new apps don't work until reboot

I have Wildfire S rooted with CM7, and I installed S2E to move dalvik cache to sd-ext, then I installed Link2SD to have more control on which apps to be moved.
After installing Link2SD s2e doesn't have control on any thing but dalvik cache (I think because Link2SD took control over the ext partition)
Any way, now when I install a new app , it doesn't open (gives force close message) untilled I reboot my device.
So is there a way to fix this problem ?
Thanks.

Others will have other opinions, but I would either:

Use S2E by itself
Use A2SD by itself

It's solved now
I followed this guide, but skipped unwanted steps
14. From root explorer:
a) Navigate to /sdcard/cm7-a2ext/link2sd-config-scripts/ use multi-select on 11link2sd and 99complete then select Copy.

Navigate to /etc/init.d/ and select mount r/w from the upper right corner of the screen.
c) Paste the copied files.
15. Long press 11link2sd and select Permissions. Ensure that the permissions are set to rwxr-x---. Repeat this step for 99complete.
16. Reboot phone.
17. From the market install Link2sd and S2E.
18. [Optional] Open S2E and enable the dalvik cache and download cache options. Moving applications are not necessary. (you must enable 'Mount as ext4' before reboot)
19. Open Link2sd (if you are prompted to select a partition type, see the link2sd note below. otherwise you should have working a2ext).
20. Reboot to complete the S2E changes.
21. Congratulations! You should now have a2ext with cm7

I knew where the problem was and solved it.
I used Link2SD with linking dalvik cache files which were moved by S2E
So I edited Link2SD options not to link dalvik cache
But S2E stops working after installing Link2SD
So I moved the dalvik cache using this guide, then installed Link2SD which worked fine
