QP10 Takes several tries before it wil open

QP10 Takes several tries before it will open.  I can double click on either 
the program or a file already made in Quattro pro 10, and sometimes I have 
to try several times before it will actually open.  When I double click on 
it, or right click on the icon and choose open, I get the hour glass for a 
split second but then nothing happens.

I tried holding down the shift key while opening, and it did reset 
everything, but I'm still having the problem.  It can get a little 
frustrating when you have to double click on something 5 times before it 
will finally open.

What you describe is more symptomatic of a system issue (i.e., Windows) than an

application issue.  I recommend using Process Explorer (a freeware utility far 
more powerful and instructive than Windows' Task Manager) to have a look at what

kind of processes are running once you "double-click", and more
importantly, 
which system resources are being heavily tasked at that point.

Answer [Yes] to the MessageBox that appears.
If no MessageBox does appear, you were too slow or too brief in 
holding down the key.
This resets the workspace to the default, and so may remove some 
corruption. You do lose all customization of toolbars &c.
