Hey man, I have the same problem here on my mac.
SO, BUMP!

If you delete your preferences.cfg file Live should start up again correctly and it will create a new preferences.cfg file for you.
It's actually better to just rename it to something like preferences.cf_ or preferences.old instead of deleting it just in case you need to restore it back for some reason.

You can find this file here in modern Windows OSes.
c:/users/username/appdata/roaming/ableton/Live/Preferences

and here in old Windows OSes.
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Application Data\Ableton\Live\Preferences
