Fired up my ARDUINO IDE today and it worked fine. Tried to import a library and the IDE hung. Eventually I had to terminate the application.
Now, everytime I start the IDE I get the dreaded An Error Occured while starting the application...
I have:
Unistalled the IDE, Rebooted and reinstalled
Deactivated Antivirus and Firewall
Uninstalled JAVA
Completely stumped, I can't run any of my projects.
Here's the log file if anyone can help

2 weeks later....
Upgraded to 1.5 and now it works - strange
Update...
Over the last 3 weeks my automated backup system has started producing errors. I have not had time to investigate until last night.
The error revolved around deeply nested folders, guess what \arduino\libraries\arduino\libraries\arduino\libraries\arduino\libraries\arduino\libraries\arduino\libraries repeated for 3,500 levels.
I've removed them and now the original arduino problem has been resolved.
