Thank you very much 'Alex K. Angelopoulos' My problem is very much fixed as it seems. It turns out that disabling Soundblaster's Audio Headquarters did the trick nicely. To anyone that may have this problem, or know anyone who does please attempt to decrypt the mess of messages below. Don't hesitate to email me personally for question on this matter as I will be off the list-serve for a while (but I'll drop in soon and often). Thanks all (alex especially) Later, Eric R.

Angelopoulos' Subject: RE: Using VNC Viewing thru HTTP causes system crash I'm not sure what winrouter is and will try disabling it and see if it fixes it. However, 'weather' (weather bug) and nwiz (unknown) are both running on the other XP box that doesn't lock up, so I will deduce that those aren't it. What is OSA? As far as taskswitch; that was included with the XP plus! pack that is a silly little preview window that pops up when you do an alt-tab. I've tried to solely disable it with no luck, I suppose I can do a selective startup or rename the file but wouldn't that be a obnoxious fix? I will also try to selectively remove qttask, fast, and Dri-Bat32. I'll see if it works. Thanks much for the help. I've attempted to recreate our dialogue in order to repost it on the list serv for others to help/benefit. Thanks again, Eric R.

Here are the others that would concern me; if I don't know what they are, I have a "?" after them. qttask (?) taskswitch (is implicated in some remote access problems) fast (?) Dri-Bat32(?) nwiz (?) Weather (this is known to lock some internet connections) OSA (can produce side issues with processing speed - not likely to be a key issue though) The problem is that the startup group is the modern equivalent of the old English commons which were everyone's property but no one's responsibility. If you aren't aware of the role of that concept in economics, it is used as a classic example of a public good which is abused to death - like littering in public parks. One other thing. I don't recall yopu exact problem since it isn't included in the reply, but starting in app mode means that VNC will not be available unless you are actually logged on to the system when you try to connect. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Green (Home/MSN) <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 2002-06-02 11:17 Subject: Re: VNC Thanks for the help! I looked at my startups and I see nothing similar to what you mentioned, I don't knowingly use and download accel's or real products. I'm not sure what media I may have installed in the past. I took a jpeg of my list that I have attached. If you don't mind taking a peak I'd really appreciate it. Winroter is the only suspicious one I see, and I don't remember installing that. Thanks a lot Alex ;) If this works I'll reply the solution to your email to get it on the listserv Eric R. Green http://www.orangewhip.net It sounds to me as though you have some Internet software which is blocking the connection. If you run msconfig on XP, you can see all of the startup applications and probably find a couple which are causing the problem; I would be suspicious of any media software, including all of the Real Networks stuff (especially RealDownload). Try disabling those, doing a reboot, and see if you can connect. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Green (Home/MSN)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, 2002-06-01 09:43 Subject: Using VNC Viewing thru HTTP causes system crash > Hey all, I've been using VNC for years and cant understand how I could
