Why does the IDE hang when I try to go into a procedures embeds?

Two screen shots which shows the IDE hung, just by trying to go into the embeds.

You can see from the time, I left it for 10mins before clicking the main IDE close button and then I get the windows message saying the program is unresponsive do I want to wait?

How have I fcuked this up then?

did you install Clarion into c:\Program Files or c:\clarion ?

default install c:\clarion11

can you CUT your screenshots, please??? in all posts.

It is great to know you have a wide monitor but your screenshots are unreadable…

Does an xlog get created in your bin folder? If so, try opening it through the IDE. Otherwise, sometimes ProcMon can help narrow down the attempted/failed activity that could be problematic…

This is from an xlog file that was last modified yesterday at 07:47 morning .

Theres another xlog from a week before, but yesterday was the first day having to use C11 because the W7 C6 VM’s have been dying despite attempts to create new one’s from scratch.

Edit.
I did notice a “System.ArgumentException: Empty path name is not legal.” my work file is c:\c11-work and I dont know what path it is trying to access. MS cant make a secure OS at least thats the appearance they give because they could be sandbagging when I think about how they have rewritten history with the 16bit icon access and the fact C6 used to work just fine on W7x32 vm’s apart from the z-order issue with the embed window not appearing on top, forcing the use of XP, but knowing what path its trying to access could be illuminating.
