Well here's the deal. My friend works for this township office and they have been working on this PrintShop project/file for about 3 months now. Well..... the file has grown to about a 200MB beast. They were storing the file on one of their servers and unfortunately for him his IT department does not back up their files and the file wont open. Their IT guy has tried every trick he can think of and nothing is appearing to work for him. Now my friend is pissed because 3 months of his work may be done. Okay now you can begin to laugh and if you would, please:

i know very little about PrintShop, but it sounds like they need to contact PrintShop and pay whatever they need to for support.
 
The file just hangs up and freezes the PC. I might suggest to try and open it and let it sit overnight. I mean the file is 200MB it's huge. Let it sit untouched to see if it opens. Or yes I agree talk to the people at PrintShop.
 
200MB is a large file to open over the network depending on traffic, try loading it from a local drive and see what happens
