Why does MediaMonkey freeze up and become unresponsive after displaying its splash screen?
Certain versions of MediaMonkey — including 3.2.2 — have an issue with plug-ins that display a modal dialog box during startup. A modal dialog prevents any actions from occurring in any other windows of the application until it is dismissed. But in this case, the dialog box is not visible (only the MM splash screen is). So no action can be taken to break the deadlock. Starting MediaMonkey with the NoSplash option works around the issue. To start MediaMonkey this way, edit the shorcut that is used to start it by adding /NoSplash to the end of the shortcut’s Target property. Right-click on the shortcut and select Properties from the context menu to edit the Target. So, for example, the shortcut target may be something like: “C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\MediaMonkey.exe” /NoSplash. You can also try this in the Start > Run… dialog to see if it corrects the problem before modifying your shortcut(s).
