Since some time ago (HM had been working perfectly before that) I started to face this problem nearly every session: at some moment I can't open the HM window, while the program stays in task panel. I can't close the program either, except using Windows task manager.

HUD works flawlessly, so this is not a critical problem, but still quite an inconvenience, as I have to restart the program every time this happens. Any ideas will be truly appreciated.

what was changed in your PC?
have you installed (or updated) antivirus\firewall ?
and tell us their names

There hadn't been any significant changes. Neither to the OS itself, nor to the firewall or anti-virus in particular.

The anti-virus is Dr.Web and the firewall, I believe, is whatever is built in Windows 7.

I've got a laptop with nearly identical configuration (same OS and anti-virus), but I've never had such problem with it. Go figure.

try to compare some settings on both PCs:
antivirus (and firewall) settings
UAC
run HM as admin (right click on file)
also check you use the same set of third-party software on PCs
if no - try to
