My .pln wont load past "Refreshing the screen" phase

Hey everyone,
Has anyone had any problems loading up .pln files in ArchiCAD 19 & 20 lately (as in it just started happening yesterday)? None of my .pln file will load past the "Refreshing the screen" phase and I have no idea why?
Oh and on a different laptop it works fine so im sure its not the file...
Things I have tried:
-Reinstalling both 19 and 20 (twice)
-Installing to portable HDD and running from there. (I did this to see if it was the install, but when I run it of the HDD on another computer it opens fine.

I feel like it may be a setting with my laptop but I need to get this fixed because I have a major assessment due and I have not got regular access to an alternative laptop

You say you have re-installed Archicad - I assume you have also installed the latest updates (hotfixes) as well?
I would also check you have the latest video card drivers installed too.

Does the same happen when you do a "New and Reset All' or open the blank template?
