Bill,

Just DL the latest official version of Guide 8. After unzipping
everything and clicking on the program icon, Guide starts
to open and then hangs before the legend is displayed.
I opened up System Monitor and saw that my processor (300MHz)
was pegged at 100%. When nothing changed after a few minutes,
I had to Control-Alt-Delete out of Guide.

Any idea why this is happening?
