All my accounts stuck on "Loading Personal Settings" and none of the ideas here worked for me. Then I found in http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=778269 that this can be caused by an anti-virus program gone bad. It suggested uninstalling it in Safe Mode.
In my case, Norton Anti-Virus, it refused to uninstall in Safe Mode -- it wouldn't do anything in Safe Mode except a full scan. So I downloaded a separate uninstaller from the Symantec site and all went well. After rebooting in Normal Mode, I reinstalled the Anti-Virus
