How big is the file? Maybe you're not letting My Documents to load its files in time when you discover it is not responding.

This is probly not the best answer but maybe you could delete it in command-prompt\DOS.

I'm with Ghost on this one.... for a 70MB game, if your computer is clogging noticeably when loading it's holding folder, get rid of it.
I always delete problem files like this using Command Prompt |
