My guess is the culprit is a program called "loader.exe" which hs recently been added to my Windows directory.

Where is it being loaded from? Can you tell? Registry? Startup folder? Autoexec / config.sys? win.sys? Which OS? Can you end the program using task manager? Can you boot to a floppy? Did you try Deltree? Did you search google for "loader.exe"? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
