When I have the anti-virus on and run SC I get the excruciatingly long load times and system hang-up when accessing 3D Options menu. With the anti-virus off those problems did not occur for me.
If I remember correctly, SC uses .mdb files and accesses same during start up. Virus Protection sees this as virus like activity and gets in the way. I would turn off real time protection while playing and you should be fine.
