Captians Log issue ???

[Grinch1903]

I am currently having problems with bringing up the Captians log. Whenever I press the button to open it up, my game stops for a very long time > 10 minutes. Once it does appear the game will returns to normal, if I select a different tab then again another 10 minutes of wait time. Does anyone know why the game is doing this ?

I have tried the following:
setting the game priority to high under task mgr.
selecting only recieved messages ( this helps sometimes but not always)
turning off other programs in the background
defrag of the HD
lowering the game settings

Can someone please assist me?

Thanks
