Acronis True Image 2014 Premium not responsive when I start program

Hello everyone.

So this starting happening the last few days. The system info is as follows:

OS - Windows 8.1
AV: Norton Internet Security
Acronis True Image 2014 Premium - Latest Build: #6688 (268.74 MB2014-08-20 00:00:00)

A few days ago, ATI just started hanging as soon as I would start the program. The title says "Acronis True Image 2014 Premium (Not Responding)". I can see the graphics on the "Get Started" tab, but can't do anything else.

This is really annoying. Are you guys aware of a similar issue on this configuration? Everything else on my computer is fine and there have been no updates to Windows.

I am sure this is a standard configuration in the Acronis test labs (Windows 8.1 with a leading antivirus product). No issues?

Thanks.
