I experience the hanging "Calculating" wait when copying files from a
network share to a brand new Vista machine. I tried the various
workarounds mentioned on the internet, but the problem only resolved
itself when I removed a D-Link10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch out of the
connection. Once I remove (cheap) switch the problem went away. You
mileage may vary, but perhaps there is something in the workings of
the D-link switch that doesn't play nice with Vista (or vice versa).
 
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
