Zune Owners - Initial Set-up time???

OK, so I put the disc in, and the Zune screen came up. I clicked “Next.” on the bottom of the screen is message that says “Checking for updates. This may take a few minutes. Please wait.”

That “few minutes” is now well over 20.

Should I start all over again, take my computer to the shop, or wait it out?

Is the application showing as running or not responding in Task Manager?

Do you have a firewall that needs to be configured to let the software access the internet?

Things got rolling about five minutes after I posted. Apparently Zune was just really REALLY slow in checking for updates.

Yeah, it does that when it checks for updates. Sometimes Windows update does the same thing. No idea what the deal is with windows update servers these days.
