[ql-users] qdt/qpc;
Hi A couple of queries that some of you might can help out with 1. (I'm sure this has come up before) when running QPC when the cursor moves over a basic window a letter A attaches itself to the cursor? system is Sempron running windows XP. 2. I have tried three times to install QDT, it keeps logging no hotkey available when there is indeed plenty left unused, and in #0 window no signal extension. Exec ing QDT direct does not bring up any Icon and nothing appears in Jobs Can QDT exist alongside QPAC2, surely it must if it should have a hot_key. I have minimised my boot file to eliminate any problems but still no luck Any clues or should I do a Dillwyn ( maybe I've done a Dillwyn - yikes) all the best - Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Also, please feel free to contact me through the following email on any QDT related questions. Part of your QDT documentation gives you information on getting 'quick' support. Hi James It's installed, I used the manual install, I think it may have been that I have extentions in a seperate directory (Resex_) and also I think HOT_GO may have been skipped/missed/not implimented I recall some instructions in the past to PAUSE 100 before the HOTKEY commands. Still have the the no Hotkey available to sort out, I'll give it one via the boot file and see if it works. Why do I need the signal extentions I do recall having these in the past but can't remeber what they are for First fleeting impression - wow looks promising -- very, I've been a QL poser for some time now, you know fiddling a little now and then but not doing anything useful, finally got around to upgade QPC and a few other programes and obviously I'm a bit rusty but looks like I'm hooked again. If any problems occur I'll comply with your instructions All the best - Bill 1. send me a copy of: - if QDT installed properly: from win1_QDT_, there should be an install_log or similar type file else if QDT did not install properly from win1_QDTINST_, the same install log or similar file 2. your boot file - original one that was backed up - boot file after QDT installed 3. your QDT_log file after you ran QDT (in win1_QDT_) 4. the DESKTOP_QDT file in win1_QDT_ Is your boot file a single file or does it call other basic boot files conditionally during boot? I have many messages that are included in these and should be able to determine the issue if you can pass these files to me to review. support AT jdh-stech DOT com Thanks, jim On Mar 28, 2005, at 9:19 AM, Bill Waugh wrote: Hi A couple of queries that some of you might can help out with 1.

She bought tickets for the Reading Festival through e-bay, and paid through Paypal after the box-office had sold them, but before they had printed or distributed them.

She waited until the tickets had been distributed (which was much later this year than previously) but when hers were not sent on to her she tried to contact the parties concerned. The person selling had, by then, disappeared. Both E-bay and Paypal refused to get involved because it was too long after the transaction.

I have also been getting these occasionally. They are always spam and I assume it is one of the spammers new tricks. Thus I don't think you have deleted QL related emails accidentally. Occasionally I do do that or even structurally block a genuine QL emailer, but I always do a double check by looking in my delete box. It is a good practice when emailing another QL-er privately to always include a keyword such as QL or Quanta in the subject title.
