OK, this is now happening with regularity, even with the latest version. 
I reboot, all is fine, then later on either when the daily batch file 
kicks in around 2200  or when I try to use it manually it just hangs. 
Haven’t determined if there's a time of day yet or noticed a 
relationship of hang to something that I run.

There's no virus or malware that I can find on the machine. It's got to 
be something conflicting with it, but there's very little that's changed 
on the machine in terms of installed s/w and Windows updates stopped 2 
months ago. I've reduced startup programs to the bare minimum.

Anyone technical reading that might have some idea of what might be 
conflicting with it?

Thanks.
