Whenever I enable the upload Progress bar in admin/build/modules ...

These two errors appear on the Status Report page (admin/logs/status):
APC Not Installed
APC is required to handle caching of the upload progress.

uploadprogress Not Installed
Array

Is there a step I am missing or what?

reading the install file would help

1. Must have PHP5.2 or above
2. Must have either APC extension or the PECL uploadprogress extension installed.
3. Test and figure out which extension is working for you - this is to be done outside of drupal. You can find the test cases here http://www.hyrme.com/node/18
4. Test that your upload's are enabled for Ajax. Not all filefields in drupal support AJAX uploads.
5. Both APC and uploadprogress require a few settings in your php.ini file:

APC needs the following:
apc.rfc1867 = on
and uploadprogress needs the following - replace the /tmp with a writable directory.
uploadprogress.file.filename_template=/tmp/upt_%s.txt

6. Install the uploadprogress module
7. Depending on which extension works for you enable the uploadprogress module and select the appropriate extension in the admin/settings/uploadprogress form.

and you should be ready to go.

That said , yes, you are missing a step if you don't have APC installed. Thus insure you have followed the remainder of the steps above.
