Do you use software which prevents starting "unknown" executables??? (AV, Firewall, etc)

What information gives the task manager when kix32 hangs?

Did you downloaded a fresh copy of kixtart and tried it again?

Maybe you have checked it already but Please tell us all you did because this can help other people when they have the same problem.
This information can also be relevant for the ones who wants to help you...
