Very very strange.
Could you try to launch Amaya with the default Amaya page:
c:\Program Files\Amaya\amaya\AmayaPage.html

There are several possible cases where Amaya cannot start:
1) The install failed (one or several files are corrupted)
2) Amaya cannot create temporary directories and files
3) Temporary files are created, but cannot be open (already in use or access denied)
It seems it's not your case, because Amaya is able to start with another document.
