Oh no- game won't start (SOLVED)

Probably dealt with in other threads but couldn't find them so here goes:
All of a sudden, the game stalls after 'Checking protection system'. Absolutely nothing happening, can't ctrl+alt+delete to desktop either. Until now, no probs whatsoever, except a couple of sudden CTD's and I've been playing this since it came out. Any ideas what this could be? Of course, I could make a full clean install but still hope there's an alternative or at least an explanation available. Could installing the latest Detonator's 81.xx have done something (while in port, virus scanner off) to do with this?
