Slic3r and Cura won't slice!!!

[tsteever]

Urrg! Just when I was feeling good about getting these things figured out I am now having trouble getting Slic3r to work. I can load small stuff up but as soon as I try to slice something larger than 100mm tall slicer gets to about 90% and just sits there.

I tried to slice it in Cura and Cura won't even open!

Could the recent activity I have had in terminal trying to get my Octoprint to work messed up the slicers?

I haven't printed anything with Kisslicer but for giggles I tried to slice the STL that slic3r won't and it works fine.

Edit: Slicer did slice...it just took FOREVR! but why won't Cura open?
