Running Windows 7 64 bit. Using Spark 6.2.3. It was functional this morning and now when I start it, the UI never appears though it is visible in the task manager. If I get an IM the messaging window shows and is functional but that's all. I updated to Java 1.7.0_11 this morning - using all default settings. The error log says:

spark.properties does exist in the directory listed above. I booted and tried a reinstall - no change. Do you recognize the cause of this error? Thanks
