If you see your computer say that it device driver was loaded, you can just unplug it. It will stay on that screen as long as you allow it to. lol

Mine was on that screen for awhile too, but when it finished it showed the startup screen with the screen lock shown and vibrated a few times and blacked out on me. The screen was blank but my home keys were lit???
I pulled the battery and restarted and so far good. I read and went through the tutorial and checked my firmware and is now 2.2. YAY! 
Hopefully all will be well.I upgraded mine earlier today on a Win 7 64 bit machine.

Running Win 7 x64 and updated two capt's with no problems.
Just got done upgrading, took me an hour lol cause I am not good at this stuff. Anyways... THANK THE LORD!
My phone has been so slow in recent weeks and this is what it needed so badly! Everythign runs so much slicker and smoother and I just love it! I can finally go on Twitter and Facebook and not have to wait 5 mins to watch them load!

My computer never said anything. That was the problem. I finally just went on to the next steps and the upgrade seems to have worked. Will know more today when I actually use the phone.
Last night I updated my phone (fully stock/unrooted). For those interested I was using Windows 7 Ult edition 64bit. I uninstalled all my previous Kies (Kies Mini and Kies Full?), went to the Samsung "How to Upgrade Phone" site that was posted here and followed every direction. Probably took 10 minutes until I was ready to download the update. The update took about 20 minutes to process, and worked with no major problems.
Only trouble I have run into in the 12 hours of having the update is I had to switch to "Home Switcher - Froyo" as the "Home Switcher" I had wouldn't keep my desktop as the default. Other things that I'm not liking:
1. Seems like the phone constantly reloads the stupid bloatware AT&T installed. I'll ATK the programs then 5 minutes later I'll go back in after opening nothing and they are back. Don't know if this is a problem with ATK or Froyo.
2. When I kill the browser program, and go to reuse browser, the browser goes back to the last webpage I was on before I killed it whereas it used to just go back to the homepage I set up for it.
3. Does anyone know if AT&T is going to make a mint off of us users that don't have unlimited data plans with this flash stuff? Some sites I visit have those flash advertisements that are usually big, and I'm sure after a while that will start to add up. Don't know if I'll hit my 2gig limit, but some in the 500mb or w/e the other one is might.
4. When I loaded up the Market it seemed to went to a previous version of the Market, but now it seems to be back to the newest version.
Overall good things:
1. Seems smoother and faster
2. No real problems, and no data loss when doing the update.
3. Start up to working time seems to have been cut down dramatically.
4. GPS works, but took about 1 minute to lock me in 10m when I was sitting in my bedroom.
Stupid question and I'll probably be crusified for asking since we just got 2.2, but can this phone handle 2.3 and does anyone know if we will ever get it outside of ROMs?

You're going to have to flash a rom that is de-odexed. I used Cognition. If you want instructions, let me know.

Just completed the upgrade on my stock, unrooted phone. From download to update to two reboots, it took 12 minutes. No drama, all my data appears to be intact.
If you access corporate email through an exchange server, you may have to agree to grant your email administrator permission to remotely reset your device.
One word of caution: Others have said the upgrade removes widgets. On my phone, it reset all seven home screens back to default. I expected my shortcuts to stay the same, just the widgets to go away. That is not the case. If you like the way you have your home screen(s) set up, make a note before doing the upgrade! I'm in the process of rebuilding my home screens.

Not Liking
1) Mine too, haven't had time to resolve yet.
2) Ditto
3) AT&T updated data usage monitor on website. You'll be OK just watch it.
4) Normal for first few times
Good Things
1) Mine Too, Very Fast
2) Same

4) Same
Yes 2.3 & 2.4 are supposed to be compatible according to a source I have. NDA prevents saying more.
Cheers
Same thing happen to me. Flash back to original stock rom then Kies with recognize the phone and update. That was what I did
I haven't flashed a rom to my phone. I just rooted it.

Ok so on my first try I got it to download via mini kies. Something happened and the screen turned red and I had to go into emergency recovery mode. I did all of that and waited till the phone completely rebooted. Everything worked out ok and I am now running froyo on my captivate!! I am no reinstalling all of my widgets.
I'll check back with more updates.
Update 1: Nothing appears to be deleted. All of my apps are still there, sms still there and launcherpro is working well.

i connect in emergency recovery mode (pressing both volume keys and plugging in usb while kies is open) its stuck again at 1%.
I'd like to know this too. Cognition 3.04 seemed a little buggy so I'm trying to decide whether to go with Cognition 4, the official AT&T Froyo, or some other ROM.
