Object Properties locks up program

[RescueLady]

HELP!! My WB 18 suddenly started locking up when I would look at the properties of ANY object. I tried all the common sense things, and even went as far as to BUY the version 20 (even tho 18 worked fine) But even the 20 version is doing the same thing, The site loads, and I can move around in the site. but if I try to tweak the settings of an object it locks up, and the only way out is to end process in Task Manager. It will not even load the properties, it sends the curser to another screen and the whole program locks up. HELP ASAP!!! I

First note that version 18 has not been changed recently, so if that version suddenly stopped working then it's most likely an issue with your system configuration.

Maybe your firewall is blocking the software? Add webbuilder.exe to the exception list.
Or maybe you have save the project on a network drive but did not set the appropriate permissions? Move the project to a local folder to see if that works.
Or maybe you have enabled automatic backup, which may take some time for larger projects? Disable automatic backup.

Or else to do a reset of the settings in Tools -> Options

If you need further assistance, then can you please describe the exact steps to reproduce this behavior?
