Stars SNGS Freeze When Opened

[guitarizt]

Yesterday it started lagging when I opened a new tournament. It started freezing right when the first hand should be dealt. It does this for every table I have open. I scanned for viruses (none) and restarted and it does the same thing today. Yesterday I just had starts and PT open and I pretty much turned on my computer and started playing on stars which is the same thing I did today.

I compacted my database in PT which didn't help. I also tried just using stars without PT open which also didn't help. I really need to fix this problem as it causes me to time out whenever the first hand is dealt; it's frozen for like a minute. I'm 2 tabling right now and this is costing me $/hr.
