There is a Windows Installer box opens up and although it goes eventually because it says it can't find the server, it can take up to 20 minutes to do this, and meanwhile everything is sooooo slow. There is a cancel button, and it says it's cancelling, but it doesn't go away. I have no idea what it is or what it's for.
