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.
No error message, just Solidworks stops responding after a while. The step error log just says that each part was successfully imported, ending with the line "STEP-in completed."

Whenever I get around to booting Windows next I'll try upping the priority on the process. Have others had success importing this particular step file?
