After each process completed, display your message in label text and use Application.DoEvents()

VB

' do something
Label1.Text = "process one completed"
Application.DoEvents()

' do something
Label1.Text = "process two completed"
Application.DoEvents()

Use a splash screen.

For every task completed, update the text.
