Hi riverrat,
This error message seems to indicate that we aren't receiving a response from some resource we expect to, and this could be due to a variety of reasons - firewall software blocking communication, network drivers malfunctioning, mechanical and/or driver issues with a hard drive... Are you running any antivirus/firewall/security software? Please make sure that all of your drivers are up to date as well if you know how to do this.
Can you submit a bug report from inside the application after this problem occurs? Choose the "Report a problem..." option from the "Help" menu. This will send some logs which might have specific information about where the problem is occurring and help narrow down the next troubleshooting steps.
Thanks,
- ryan
