I am new at this so am trying to catch up.

Hello. Yeah they do take awhile - pc specs have alot to do with it and keeping the pc clean helps too.Just to give you some timelines:With a 2.8 ghz processor & 1 gig of ram it takes about 1hr 20 mins approx. Using a 1.8 ghz & 1 gig of ram takes 2hr 20 mins approx.If you haven't recently do a disc defrag, run a registry cleaner like the free ccleaner. Use the issues and cleaner options.And run virus & spyware scans.Do this maintenance bit weekly.Forum Rules Do this before posting Do not click this link...
