Anyone have an idea what's happening? Any suggestions?

I'm not entirely sure what's happening on your system, but generally when I try to open a step file larger than 40 meg I restart my computer, set the performance settings to high, set SolidWorks as high priority in the task manager, and kill all non-essential processes before attempting to open the step file in an attempt to allocate as many resources to SolidWorks as I can. I'm not sure if this will help in your situation, but it should at least give you a starting point. If you're getting an error message, try to take a screen shot of it and post it. We might be able to help you better if we can see what's going wrong.
