About this tag
The 'calculating' tag on WindowsForum.com covers user discussions about Windows file copy operations that stall or hang at the 'calculating' phase. Common themes include the 'calculating' message appearing for extended periods without actual file transfer progress, particularly when copying media files from optical drives to hard drives. This issue has been reported in both Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Users seek troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem, such as workarounds or fixes to bypass the lengthy calculation stage and restore normal file copying behavior.

    Windows 7 here we go again with File Copying issues

    trying to copy a wmv file from a cd rom to my hard drive in windows 7 and seeing that stupid "calculating:mad:" message that goes for 200 years with no actual copying being done. What is this and how do i fix it? I used to see this crap in vista too.
