Brooke I just noticed the QV icon on my task bar so your comment on taking it out of the start up directory makes more sense. What are the advantages of running QV in the background (if that's what the icon means), or what was the downside from running it from the desktop? Maybe I will just take both (QV and NU)off the startup menu. Thanks Tim

My IBM 520 Thinkpad (QP2 machine) had some earlier incompatabilities (like maybe it wants a new Windows installation) with other programs and QV. Like Nuts & Bolts and HiJack PRO (which seems to dislike a lot of stuff). I deinstall QV (which gets reinstalled with every new QP2 upgrade) from the start up menu, so that I can turn it on and off when I need it - and it solves any problems I have. [That's not to say that the problems haven't gone away anyway, as I am not to careful to deactivate QV when I finish with QP2 and still get solid performance today. But it does sayt you can work out something to use QV even if there are some conflicts existant. And QV is a dream - so you do want to use it with other SW like MSW. Somewhere along the line I did remove some of HiJacks autoscanning features, and so that may have helped too.
