Aria is a very stable sample player. I'll bet that when you tried to open that project a dialog popped up asking if you wanted to use the 64 bit version of Aria. It was probably hidden by the Sonar program.  Thus the wait. Not knowing it was there you thought the project was a problem.

If a project seems to take too long to load always check for a hidden dialog waiting for your input.  

I have had that sort of thing happen to me.  EXCELLENT tip.

@ Herb...thanks bud but the issue was resolved (post # 14)

@ John...that sounds logical but for the life of me I couldn't find any such message anywhere including processes in task manager.
I agree Aria is very stable...just user error I suppose...it's all good now.
Thanks again my friends,
Randy

I know that it may not appear in the task manger because it is often a sub window of Sonar itself. You have to minimize Sonar's main window to see a dialog underneath.

In Windows 8 the task bar will show sub windows along side the main windows. In Vista this didn't happen so I had to check it out for myself.

I am not saying it is the only reason for a load hang but it is often the cause.

Heck I can relate a scan that was hung only because a dialog was hidden. Yet it looked as if Sonar had crapped out.

 

Good info, I hope I can remember to minimize Sonar next time I have a problem loading a project.
Thanks again John,
Randy

What John described happened to me several vastly intermittent times in the past, and once I finally learned to check for any hidden dialog boxes (waiting for some response from me), by minimizing the main windows, I was able to respond to the dialog box and keep on running my apps with no further trouble.

Again, this is just supportive comments on the tip - and that too is not just related to Sonar, but to other software as well.

Anyways, glad that you got things up and going again for you,
