I've never seen anything like this either and if it was a Clarion app
related issue, all of us would have had customers screaming all over the
world by now...

The only thought that comes to mind is a stupid antivirus program (such as
Norton) being "over-aggressive" and just dragging the system to its knees.

Reboot, turn OFF your antivirus, and try again (after the hour passes and
Windows has finally started everything up<g>)

Happy hunting John!
