>From my experience you cannot rely on the MS "not responding" indication,
it depends on what the program is doing. MS does give false "not
responding" messages. I know this to be true from testing..... As I recall,
the 3% mark is where the program seems to hang up, but when I left it alone
it eventually did complete....
