Double click the SAS ( yellow bug ) icon in the notification area to open SAS.

In Preferences > General and Startup > Startup options > Uncheck Show SAS icon in system tray.

( I unchecked all of them in mine )

Close and reopen SAS. It should now open up correctly.

Can you open it at all? Possibly your firewall blocking it? Bad download?

Hmm. I don't know what to say. Mine was doing the same as yours until I did the things

I suggested to you. There must be something else wrong, but I don't have a clue what, sorry.
