From work now as I can't get into my 'puter at home. Installed AVG anti virus, but profiles login kicks me out straight away. (I can boot up into DOS)Ah, but I can uninstall AVG from DOS (it says on their web site)by running SETUP/UNINSTALL, except that's a b@*%# WINDOWS program, not a DOS program. It seems obviously around initialisation, perhaps a ceretain flag set somewhere. You may not know the answer, but you might know someone who does, or somewhere I can get the info. Cheers folks. Brad
