Studio 5000 Slow Import

Hello everyone,

New to the forum, first post.

I am trying to create a new project from an import of an L5K file and have noticed a significant increase in the time it takes to create the project. Where I was able to complete a full import of the same project file before in approximately 60-90 seconds, it's slowed to a crawl. I let it work for 10 minutes before I stopped and had a co-worker create the project for me.

I'm running V28 on a Windows 7 machine. Has anyone else experienced this and can someone give me some tips on what may be causing this problem? I haven't installed any new software or made any changes to my computer that I am aware of.

Any help is appreciated!

Do you have an activation?
If no activation try disconnecting from all networks.

I know what you mean, I'm trying to import and it's taking ages.

Where you able to actually see the Import dialog?
Did it actually finish?

Did you connect a secondary external display to this laptop before?
Your dialog may be off the screen now.

Few things that you can try:
- hit Enter after it appears to be hanging - if dialog is off the screen, then it will continue the import.
- hold CTRL+SHIFT while starting Studio - it will reset all windows to default.
- connect an external monitor.
