One example is the Australian E-Tax program mentioned recently - it'll hang on the splashscreen when no Desktop window exists (download: http://www.enderboi.com/misc/etax2002_1.exe) Another example is setup programs for things like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Visual Studio. They'll crash out or just generally not work if various programs (_INSxxx._MP for example) are not set to use Desktop. I believe the QuickTimeInstaller suffers from the same problem, as well as several other bits of software I've tried using recently.. - James 'Ender' Brown ------------------------ Project Leader: http://www.scummvm.org/ Site Founder: http://www.quakesrc.org/ Lead Programmer: http://www.collectivedetective.org/
