Hello Bob, Go to Task Manager and look at Processes to see if comet is still actually running. If so look at Performance and see if it is using the number of threads that you specified in the parameter file. This might give a clue as to why it is taking so long, for example if you somehow told it to use only one thread. Did you specify an enzyme or no enzyme search? The latter will take a long time. Might help if you posted your comet parameters file.
Also, I have found that running TPP processes from the command line produces useful output to help debug problems. You can "cheat" and run it via Petunia, then copy paste the command from there to a cmd window and watch the output. Sometimes you will receive errors or warnings that will give you a clue as to what is happening. You might also try generating a new comet params file and then editing it to suit your conditions. WRT msconvert, I usually just do peak picking on those MS levels where you have profile data and leave rest to defaults. I am not certain what msconvert does with profile data by default so I specify that parameter. It would be nice if others would share their msconvert parameters.
