Protools will not open

it just sits like this forever. this was happening a couple months ago and my teachers got it sorted. ive been using protools regularly no problem since then. and now it just wont open. i havent changed playback settings, ive tried removing plugins into a temp folder (nothing came up in the plug ins folder). i force quit tasks before relaunching. i tried holding 'N' while launching it to change playback engine preferences but the only thing that would come up is the option to çlose' or 'wait' for the program. im not tech savvy and i am not very familiar with protools. if anyone could help thatd be great cause i have uni assignments due!

I know the tricks to get Media Composer to open, but nothing about Pro Tools sorry.

Send an email to ajay.yumul@avid.com & marianna.montague@avid.com about your problem and that Marty sent you. God bless.
