It seems to work as long as it has been started that one time. If I exit, and do other things and then try and start it again, it goes into an infinite loop. If I reboot, I can start it (once) again. I still feel there is something about java.exe being the culprit. When I tried to reboot (which was difficult, since Lightroom doesn't respond to attempts to kill it off) I get a quick message about java.exe not being able to initialize its dll and then the machine reboots.
