I did step 1. When I did step 2, it hangs! Wow. I don';t know what to do.
I've never had a meltdown of rpm like this. Should I just uninstall it
and then reinstall it? Hmmm. I need to find out where it is if I do 
this, but that shouldn't take much time.

I can say that it hangs because the job time just increases, instead of 
showing "0:00".
