  Well, unless you know how long it's supposed to take, how do you know if
that's long enough to conclude it's got stuck or not?

  A more effective way of checking would be to bring up the windows task
manager and see if it's still actively using cpu time and doing stuff.

  You will almost certainly find that it was, indeed, just busy and not
finished yet.  Let it run to completion, or at any rate don't conclude it's
hung until you see it sitting there for a while at 0% cpu usage...


    cheers,
