[SOLVED] Platinum Does Not Start - hangs at splash page - SONARPLT won't end

Starting SONAR Platinum after a fresh boot hangs at the splash page indefinitely. Ending SONARPLT.EXE process from the Task Manager only removes the splash page from the screen the process continues to run. So far, a system restart will allow Platinum to start. This started happening after one of the older updates but I can't remember which one or what else may have changed on my system around that time - makes it hard to go back. 
 
Anybody heard of a cure?

    What version of Sonar Platinum (on spalsh page).
    This is without loading a project?
    If it is loading a project try Sonar safe mode.
     
    Not sure what you are referencing .. 'Older update?' For what?
     
    Ta.

    Hi Doktor -
    There's no version on the splash page (screen shot below). This happens on JP update and several older Platinum updates. Haven't gotten to the project selection screen yet so it's not loading a project.

    [EDIT]
    I don't know what happened to my picture but it's just a black box that says SONAR Platinum

    Reinstalled Microsoft Security Essentials and renamed %appdata%/Cakewalk/Platinum to Platinum backup. Now Platinum starts but bogusly complained about not enough storage to install my MIDI output device - APAI MPK49.
