Mike,
I am having EXACTLY the same problem! The only workaround I have been able to find is to open the problem early and wait a half an hour for it to start working, all the while Task Manager indicating a lot of CPU usage. (Rebooting is no help) I use TM from 3 computers and only 1 is exhibiting this problem, of course it has to be the one I use to record data at our meetings, arghhh! It was working fine on the machine until like a month ago.. I don't know what the solution is but would sure like to, so if you find the solution, please post it.. I may give support a call to see if they are aware of this problem and, more importantly, have a solution. FWIW I don't know if it's a factor, but it so happens that the machine with the problem is running Vista, the other two XP. BTW in my case the problem MAY also have been triggered following an extended period of having left the database on the server locked up, but it doesn't appear corrupted or anything, it the data appears intact and shows up normally on the other machines.
