Captivate 8 fails to launch

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; no problems with captivate8 installation. When I try to launch Captivate I get one of 3 behaviors:

  1. an empty white window
  2. the Captivate splash screen that appears to be hung at "Loading..."
  3. the firewall exception popup

Sometimes when I click on the window, I get the Windows "Application not responding..." popup; sometimes I have to use the Task Manager to kill the program. The log file is always the same:

This is where it stops and never goes any further.

The log file from a successful launch continues with the following:

but I never see this on my computer.

Thanks for your help,

Cheryl
