Laptop is:
Win 8.1 64 bit OS
i7; 256 ssd; dedicated graphic card; so very fast
zotero latest version (cannot check because frozen)

adamsmithHow long have you let it run when it says "not responding"? Is there any data in the library for Standalone?

dstillmanIf the laptop has a touchscreen, you'll need to let it go until it completes and then close the tag selector in the bottom left to fix this. There's a strange issue with touchscreen PCs that haven't yet fixed.
