I called TM about this. Sometimes the program would lock up for half an hour when opening, sometimes lock up for half an hour using the program. They said some machines have an issue with Java but the solution is as suggested, turn off the moving water, under File/preferences.
I'll post again if this solution doesn't work.

Ever since then, My Troop Master has been incredibly slow to the point where It freezes up. I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but as soon as i start it up for the first time, It is soo slow I can't even set the accounts up. I'm not talking about an unbearable slow, its a slow that takes 25 minutes for the tip screen at start up to show up. A couple of work arounds for the time being i've noticed is definately starting windows vista in safe mode with networking. This makes the program run as normal.
