Never had this problem before today, click to load game nothing black screen for like 2 mins then it finally comes up before it would take a second.

Two hard drives, game is installed on the primary drive though with the OS, no security suite and system restore is off as well as windows updates I do those manually.
No clue what's up with it, it loads black screen but the games cursor is there and it just hangs there. I'm thinking about re-installing it but don't know where the folder is located.

The web installer puts the game in C:\Users\*username*\AppData\LocalLow if you're using Vista/7. At the bottom of the Play web page there's also a link for a installer app that allows you to choose a custom location for the game.
People have seen that blank screen for video driver problems, old Java versions and when suffering connectivity problems.

Haven't changed drivers and
Haven't changed drivers and game worked fine before, Java is up to date current version and game runs fine once it's loaded I'm on a solid 30Mbps connection.
edit* Tried reinstalling game and java no luck, I'm actually fairly certain it's a Java related issue because the game launches off Javaw.exe and that seems to be hanging for some reason.
editx2* FINALLY, removed the folder for the game and reinstalled nothing so I installed via the manual installer and nothing so I uninstalled via the uninstaller and installed it again and now for some reason it loads right up now.
No clue why it happen and no clue how this fixed the issue but whatever it works.
Are you on a Windows computer using a single hard drive? If something like a Security Suite program did a scan, System Restore was creating an image or Windows Update was running on automatic the disk would be very busy and easily result in a sudden increase in loading time.
