Still fails. DeBug script posted above on March 31.
Animation icon still spins. Progress bar advances to just beneath the w in awhile (on the "might take a while" message.) Hardrive action according to the flickering led. No completion.
I have let it run as long as an hour with same result.
All other functions appear to work as they always have with 2008.
