Try running RO in windowed mode and see if you can tell what is happening in the back ground. Also for good measure make sure all your drivers are up to date (video and sound) and your Direct X build is the latest released by MS (they release a every other month build of Direct X 9c).

It really sounds like a program is locking it up thats external. A firewall or something would make most sense.

Once you get something to say press the allow button in the background your game usually locks up till you pressed allow. So try going windowed and check if it locks up too and check if you can see anything popping up.
