Please open your debug.err file in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem. The location you'll find the debug.err in varies depending on your game version:

Dread Lords, all versions:
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2

Dark Avatar 1.5-1.6 (non-Vista):
C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

I've had this experience as well. It seems to take substantially longer in the TA Beta for a game to load-even a brand new game-thatn with previous versions.

Have had the same experience with DA, but awhile ago it started loading games at normal time.. Don't know what I twicked to get the result.
