OK, this is a long shot....
If u have a firewall, like zonealarm, when SoE patches the game, your firewall will ask for permission to allow access to the "new" client.
If you are in full screen mode, you are not able to see the little permission window to allow it, so everything stops.
You can change the screen mode from the patcher screen.
I hope this helps & I don't look like a duffer...again.
