Started it in Safe Mode, and that works like a champ. Went back
to normal mode, same thing. Looked under Help:About:Disabled
items, and it showed only one file "~wra0000.wbk" which I found
in a temp folder, and deleted the item. Still same long delay
in regular mode. Running McAfee Enterprise 7.1 anti-virus. I
disabled its "on-access scan" feature, but that made no
difference.

So question is, what else does safe mode do, or not do.
