It will work, but it does take a lot of time. I had the same problem earlier this week, and I discovered if I let it sit loading for around 20 minutes, it would indeed load. The problem is that it is a large file and the program has to scan the whole file to get the materials. It only appears to hang, but in reality, it doesn't. If you don't want to wait that long, you can use Mike as the figure and the textures load up fine, at least they did for me. I also run XP, and the taskmanager would say the same thing. Little did I know, the taskmanager was fooled!
