I had the same hang issue when just playing around with the tabs and hit "Places" (not really interested in places, though). Suspected one of the reg. files would help. TXs, Paul, for short-cutting my deeper searching and giving the right hint. It works again. Here are the details
Removing the reg key "active_metadata_tab" will take the tab view away completely, but one can select e.g. "People" again - avoiding "Places" ;-) "active_metadata_tab"="thumbui/people_toggle" will shows the People tab immediately when restarting Picasa.
