Dick, Several points.... 1. THere is an uninstall procedure. go into start->control panel->add remove programs and there will be entries in there for QP and QPV. 2. Say the boot problem returns..... Well QPV is run by a icon in your startup folder which can easily be removed from dos... cd \windows\profiles\start menu or \windows\start menu then programs\startup and you will see a bunch of .lnk files in there of which one is QPV. simply remove the file and QPV will not load... please note that if you do this from dos the path with be mangled with ~1 because of long file names but its still very doable. I have done this numerous times over the last several years with many ill behaved windows programs. most noteabley, flexi-cd from power toys. Sean

My computer used to hang sometimes with QPV, too, when I still had Norton 2.0. I got around it by moving QPV from the Startup menu to the desktop. Then you can open QPV when you need it. To move QPV in Win 95, right click on Start, click on Open, open the Programs folder, open the Startup folder and then drag and drop the QPV icon out of the folder onto the desktop. Now QPV won't load at startup, but you can open the program when you need it. QPV works fine with Norton 3.0, btw. Brooke
