Hold the Shift key during the MoL startup, then start up the Extension
Manager, and disable everything but the basics. Then try restarting MoL
normally (without holding Shift), and see if you can get things working.
The big thing is to figure out WHICH extension is causing it to choke.
Then just don't load it.
