Hi Manus

I think that the 20% as at the point that all the software is checked from the Meridian web site. My router firewall detects in excess of 120 files being checked at this stage. A secondary Symantec firewall on my PC also asks for access to the net.

So it would not be unusual for it to sit at 20% for quite some time, especially if you have a dialup connection - in which case I would say that many minutes would not be unusual. I have just run setup twice, with broadband it took 40 seconds and nearly 3 minutes so there is quite alot of time variation with this stage of the process. May also be worth checking if your firewall is blocking anything.
