Geoff,

If the launch hangs at the "Loading Plug-ins" stage you might suspect 
that it is that component which is at fault. But it turns out that it 
is the next component which causes the problem. Try replacing just 
the "Saves" folder inside the "Components" folder.

This has happened to me on several occasions and this single change 
restores functionality.
