Post your computer specs and the OS you are using. This will help.

WELCOME ABOARD!

With GWX it can take ten minutes or more to load sometimes. It sounds like you're just encountering a slow-loading period. Give it some time, make some lunch, make some tea and you should be okay.

Steve makes an excellent point here. Is your hard drive still grinding away loading files?

Ouch! That's not good.

Can't think of any other advice to offer at this point.
