Dictionary,spinning icon?

[Strom1]

When I'm in dictionary I keep getting the spinning beach ball for a long duration,this just starting happening tonight any reason?

It often does that when it tries to look things up through Wikipedia. I'd just go into the preferences and disable Wikipedia. It doesn't seem to work very well.

Thanks for the tip, I get the beachball A LOT using dictionary since upgrading to Leopard so I'll try removing Wikipedia from preferences. Hopefully that does the trick!

Where in preferences?

In the Dictionary preferences, there's a list of sources.
