Launch Tb, and the 'waiting circle' (like the old egg timer) just turns and turns. Can move around the program, eg highlight different folders, but won't show content, can't send or receive. Have to reinstall, and then runs fine. Windows 10, latest version of Tbird.

Now fixed - problem was with Permissions, arising from foible in Win10. (Also affected trying to save files in my Documents folders.)

Fix for me was here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?p=79133870
