Do you get some sort of message? Maybe the antivirus software is set to be too restrictive? Perhaps you can do what a lot of folks do, and add the Sonar paths to the 'exclusions' in your antivirus software - that would also improve performance quite a bit, I would imagine.
Other folks disconnect from the internet and temporarily suspend their antivirus software right before launching a Sonar session, which would be similar to the 'exclusions' option I mentioned above.
