Joe...I STILL have WIN 3.1. sitting over there beside me, ready and waiting. The gerbils are fat & lazy, but they could summon up enough energy to run the system and connect me to Mudcat for a short while in an emergency, I betcha!

Yes...QuickTime is designed to 'integrate' with browsers and such...meaning it goes and does things to your registry, system files etc....Perhaps the thing to do is to TOTALLY un-install any version one has, and re-install clean so that there are no conflicts.. I guess because I still have nothing beyond version 3, I have not run into that.

I have VERY carefully avoided having any software that tells ME what it's gonna do, whether I like it or not...
