It's normal and expected to the see the console window, as the console is enabled by default in all Beta builds (will be disabled by default in the "Final" version).
So what does the console say? At which point it stops proceeding?
And are you sure you aren't in "Mark" mode ("Edit -> Mark" or a simple left-click with QuickEdit enabled) in the console? As long as you are in "Mark" mode, the application will be frozen!
Also: In my experience
poor "Anti Virus" software can slow-down the start-up process significantly! It's quite possible that you just have to wait a little longer...
(In my personal experience Avira Antivir is pretty fast, Microsoft Security Essentials is slower but still okay and NOD32 is slow like hell)

Windows XP with Service-Pack 3 is one of my test platforms. And I have not experienced any problems so far...

Please keep all compatibility options
disabled. LameXP even would refuse to continue with compatibility mode enabled

Well, that's nice
But the pre-compiled LameXP binaries have been linked against the
static MSVCR libraries, so you do
not need to install the VC++ Redistributables.
(It certainly doesn't hurt to have them installed, but the pre-compiled LameXP binaries simply won't be effected)

Nope. The pre-compiled binaries of LameXP are fully self-contained and work "out-of-the-box".
All dependencies have been linked
statically for maximum ease of use. Still you might want to verify this with Dependency Walker, if you don't trust me
