[Qgis-user] Unable to load project

[Springfield Harrison]

hello Phil,

I did open the project file in Word, 2033 pages, and found 13 instances
referring to the dxf file. Hard to say if anything was wrong there, nothing
obvious. At least to me. Some other research I did indicates that maybe
there is an authentication problem, not sure just what that boils down to.

I don't think the dxf file is the problem. I renamed it and bypassed it on
the startup routine which the program accepted but it still seized up with
a spinning cursor. Some things still function, such as modifying the
properties of a layer , Etc. But the screen is blank and nothing can be
saved.

For some time I have noticed that loading a project file bogs down for a
while and then would resume to completion. Now it bogs down and blows up.
The key message seems to be unknown exception.

Some older project files do load successfully however...

Cheers . . . . .   Spring
