To complete the lab in the allotted CPU time follow the video as before 
but select the MOPAC computational engine instead of Gaussian.


And once you get to the calculation setup screen select GEOMETRY 
OPTIMIZATON while leaving all the other values at their default settings.


These are MUCH less intensive calculations and should finish quickly.  
Scroll down on the output as before to find the dipole moment for the 
molecule.
