Hello, Kim and all: I too have had difficulties getting the Bat to start, and a fresh install did not help much.
Here's the workaround I've discovered. I'd be curious about other stories of similar problems, and solutions. I first (usually) need to start Outlook (which I do not use for email, of course) and then exit Outlook. After that the Bat starts reliably. Can anybody explain what might be going on?
