This is normal for a lot of people.  The initial load can take a really long time (sometimes several hours), so you just have to be patient.  After you get through that, the loadings afterwards will be faster.

So just let it load (don\'t check if its not responding or anything, just leave and watch TV or something) and it should come up eventually.

It\'s possible that you have to wait more than two hours...

I don\'t know exactly what you consider loading, but I suppose it. Check other posts in this forum with the same topic for more information.

I\'d say \"loading\" means \"disk activity\". This _is_ normal, because there will be periods of pure calculation, after which there will be some more disk access and then more calculation. This will keep cycling for three to five times (I didn\'t count), but it\'s normal. Both times depend on your hardware configuration and may or may not take hours. You maybe can\'t let it sit overnight, however, because it may crash after completing everything (i.e. after some online \"in-game\" time). Always happens to me, so you might need to check every 15 minutes or so after the first hour. A good indication is the presence of music. It usually stops and reappears. When it reappears, one look at the screen lets you know if it\'s there yet.
Maybe try letting it sit for a night once, if it is gone when you check, you need to observe it more colsely. ;) But it will then have done the initial preparations and load faster the next time anyway (30 min - 1 hour for me).

Thats ... wierd.  Anyway, could you post your computer specs (CPU, RAM, OS, Video Card), that might shed some light on your problem.
