WP sometimes quits on startup (Win7)

Support Client software
1

If ‘run as administrator’ is checked, WhatPulse relaunches. Usually this works fine, but sometimes on startup the original instance takes too long to exit. Then the new instance of WP with admin rights thinks that WP is still running, so it exits too and I have to start WP manually. I noticed the problem more with v2.3 on my home PC. This is the first time I’ve had it happen with v2.4 and on my work laptop. The log looks like this:

07-05-2014 09:10:50.234 INFO "Starting WhatPulse 2.4..." 07-05-2014 09:10:50.499 DEBUG Installed CrashRpt! 07-05-2014 09:10:52.015 DEBUG Database file: "C:/Users/pharvey/AppData/Local/WhatPulse/whatpulse.db" 07-05-2014 09:10:56.412 DEBUG Database check: "ok" 07-05-2014 09:10:56.412 DEBUG Opened database in: 4397 ms 07-05-2014 09:10:56.427 DEBUG Not running WhatPulse as Administrator! :-( 07-05-2014 09:10:56.427 DEBUG Elevating client to Administrator rights! 07-05-2014 09:11:28.943 INFO "Starting WhatPulse 2.4..." 07-05-2014 09:11:28.993 DEBUG Installed CrashRpt! 07-05-2014 09:11:28.993 DEBUG QtSingleApplication::isRunning() - appIsRunning() is true! 07-05-2014 09:11:28.993 DEBUG WhatPulse is already running! Sending message to running client to bring up MainWindow and exiting this instance.

Both computers are running Windows 7 x64.

Ah yep, still happens sometimes on my home computer too:

Just made a few changes that will solve this for the next version.
