The lack of any error messages makes it all the more mysterious. Since it happens on at least 3 different PCs I don't know if it might be something with our Windows or network setup, but any clues for the IT folks would be helpful so we can point them in the right direction.
Thanks!
I tried setting a log file per an earlier post on this forum but it doesn't really indicate much. But for what it's worth, I've pasted it below.

Also, turn off MS IE cookies in the Options dialog and let me know what happens.
Oleg.
Anyway, maybe having an internal check to see the various data directories exist and returning an error message to that effect would be helpful in the next version.
Thanks again for your responsiveness & assistance!
