I'm new to the group but not QS. Maybe this would help in the FAQ...as it took me a bit to figure out. My CPU was pegged over 100% most of the time. After googling, I found it was Spotlight and related services (atsserver etc.) were choking. I don't use Spotlight, so following recommendations I set the main HD to private, essentially disabling Spotlight. QS would crash on startup everytime, and eventually I found it to be the change I made in Spotlight. Fix, disable the Spotlight module in QS. Great product, thanks Howard. Bryan
