I experienced the white/gray (grey for John) hesitation screen while generating Real Tracks. At the same time, I heard a few clicks from my hard drive. I went into the properties of the drive and did Tools, Error Checking (Windows 7). Some errors were found and fixed. The white/gray screen disappeared.
