Davinci Resolve can't open projects

so I was able to install davinci just fine, it loads, it lets me create projects, but when I attempt to open an existing project it completely locks up. the first time the status bar popped up and made it to about 28%, but on all subsequent attempts the cursor just changes to an alarm clock and the application does not respond, I have to kill davinci and relaunch. has anyone experienced this or know of a workaround?
