Thanks to all who responded. Jun-Kiat Lam indicated that the problem was thread/process related. He suggested that other applications running or that files residing on a compressed drive may be the culprit. In my case none of the files were compressed and closing all but Constructor did not make a difference. What I tried next was going into the NT Task Manager's Processes tab and changing the thread priority of Constructor to "High", before attempting to open the file. That did the trick. It may help Gaurav Palvia who periodically can not save (that has got to be a much worse feeling than not opening). And to answer Richard Hartman, it did not matter which method of opening the file I tried, it would always hang.
