so today i go to login, click on the STO shortcut on my desktop and wait for the launcher to popup.
fast forward 15 minutes later and im still waiting. this is the first time this has happened. and to head off the inevitable answer, no im not running vista or 7 so running as administrator wont help, not like ive had a problem before today anyway.

XP, Vista, and Windows 7 all have right click - Run as administrator options. In XP there is a "protected" mode with existing user account, you want to run with your administrator account and password, not with the protected mode.
I still have the same issue as well. I have run the above link as suggested from a previous post I made. The launcher will still not launch sometimes. I have to go the task manager and kill the process. Sometimes this works on the first try, sometimes I have to do this several times.
Thanks Coderanger, that little exe tool worked for me >>> I have heard of other people whit this problem who fully re-downloaded & reinstalled the game to fix it can the title be adjusted & this thread made in to a sticky???
