[Qgis-user] Loading issues with project file in QGIS 2.4 (64 bit)

[Randal Hale]

I worked with a client last year that was dealing with an ArcGIS issue - 
arcmap would lock up and crash when she added data. I suspected a 
network issue - IT said "that's the way GIS software does". Turned out 
her network card in the workstation was going bad....I think we checked 
in the Control Panel...somewhere...(I'm currently on a linux machine).

can you test the files locally move them to C: ?
