So I had this same issue on a Win7 machine. Running in WinXP compatibility mode and as administrator did nothing. WHat worked was unplugging a USB device. Sepcifically a Pickit 3 from Microchip, which is used to program PIC microcontrollers.
If it is plugged in, I get the MFC error. If not, it starts up right away like a champ.
