Hm. It seems that the computer may be locking-up while trying to find a previous path you may have used. Did you once link to a location on your network, or a location that no longer exists?
You may want to see if launching the software through the 'run' command works - using the command line you can specify what input file you want to launch.

If the above doesn't work, you may want to try uninstalling, and then reinstalling.
