V8 just hangs on loading at splash screen

[videobruce1]

Using V8 on W7 x64, the program just hangs at the splash screen. It doesn't lockup, it just sits.
No activity is shown in Task Manager. It only shows the process, nothing in the applications tab.

My original video card died. I substituted a spare Geforce 6200 PCI card until I get a decent replacement (loaded the most recent driver).
I wasn't able to install the original AMD/ATI drivers since the card is unusable. I don't see why that would/should be a problem. I did re-install the program, but no difference.

Are any W7 services required that may not be running to run the program?

Can you run PerformanceTest in debug mode and send us the log.

Details about debug mode can be found here.

Safemode worked. Debugg mode did finally load the program after two to three minutes, here are the two files. I'll reload the SM Bus driver (AMD).
Why so many 'USB' entries??

[David (PassMark)]

The logs don't seem to be complete. You said the load time was a (very slow) 2 minutes, but the logs only cover less than 1 second. Can you E-Mail us the complete files.

[videobruce1]

That was where the program hung and waas ended by myself before I discovered it did fi9nally load.

The next line in the SystemInfo file is after what was posted above is;
"155.081s - SysInfo: Enter SysInfoDll_GetPartitionInfo"

The next line in the PerfTest is;
"105.410s - DEBUG: Checking language and local"

I'll e-mail those files instead of posting them here since the one file is huge.

[David (PassMark)]

That should be enough detail to look into (and hopefully fix) the problem.
We are coming into the Easter break here, so any fix will likely be after Easter now.
