    This 'Calculating Time remaining' is a complete waste of time and desktop
    space. If it was ever in XP I never noticed it. I assume that this is why
    copying/cutting from one place to another seems to take 5 times as long in
    Vista
    Get rid of it!

    This same thing happened to me. I called tech support. He said this was a
    virus that caused this problem because if you reboot in safe-mode and try to
    move-delete-add a file it doesn't do it. So I would recommend trying to get
    rid of the virus (name unknown) or as I did completely re-install Vista.
    Mine works good as new and fast now. Good luck!
