    I don't run Kcam, you could try this while you try to open a file.

    1) Ctrl + Alt + Delete

    When the "Windows Task Manager" opens click on the "Applications" tab & make sure that "Status" (top right side of the screen) reads "Running".

    It'll save you at the very least, 29.5 minutes.

    How large is the g-code file?

    That's a very small program, so the file size (945 KB) should never be the problem.

    Again I don't use Kcam, but it looks like that text file has a bunch of extra stuff, or is that the Kcam format?

    How did you generate that file?

    KCAM can read standard g-code files. Can you create the same file in standard g-code and see if that works?
