What I ended up doing is changing my "timezone" to a city in the same timezone (so your computer time won't be effected). I tried this once and it didn't work; I'm not sure what caused it to work the second time. Try these things:
1) If you haven't already, try the Fix Not Responding program from the TOT website.
2) After installing and attempting to run the game, change timezone to completely different timezone (not just a different
city).
3) After installing, but not running, change timezone to completely different zone.
If 2 or 3 works, try changing back to your same timezone, but leave it in a different city.
Hope this helps!
