Hangs on Startup

I've been using pl/sql dev for years, now though it hangs on startup. If I log into a database, or cancel, either way it hangs. I am using Windows 7 64 bit, with the Oracle 11gr2 32-bit client.

I ran it in debug mode and these are the last few lines:

11/04/2014 14:38:34 Database = GENEVA.CIB168
11/04/2014 14:38:34 GetCrashList: 200356.cfg
11/04/2014 14:38:34 GetCrashList: 200356.cfg

The strange thing is that it tries to add a series of databases that used to be in my tnsnames.ora, but are no longer. CIB168 for example is nowhere to be seen in my tnsnames file.

I do not have a TNS_ADMIN variable defined, and I in my ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory there is a tnsnames file with only 1 database defined. But each time I start pl/sql it find some other tns entries from somewhere.
 
In Windows Explorer, can you go to the %TEMP% directory (just enter %TEMP% in the directory bar) and delete the "PLS-Recovery" directory? Start PL/SQL Developer again and check if this helped.
