If the network is reasonably sparse 3000 nodes shouldn't be
a problem - for example the network on slides 36 and 37 at
http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/doc/mix/GDaSNA.pdf
has almost 6000 nodes.
For a dense network you can have problems with the available
space in your computer memory.
Look in Pajek at number of arcs/edges in the report to
Info/Network/General
Try to close all other programs except Gsview/Ghostscript;
or try everything on the computer with larger memory.
The other possibility is to reduce the size of your network:
replace parallel links with a single link (with sum of values),
delete some less important links - links with value lower than
a selected threshold, ...
