Bob- this on 1200 MHz celeron- with windows "XP", service pack 2, and all upgrades.
Made by E-systems, and has some quirkies- notably, when running some DOS based
software (like ARRL's "Microsmith", it generates graphic trash in the results
column), but this was not something I have seen before.
Internet browser is Mozilla 1.7.3, and this was NOT downloaded from QSL.Net-
got the copy from the gentleman that placed on his webpage, as was like mollassas
downloading off of qsl.net . Also, it is 1.4.0, NOT version 1.5.3 (dont know if that
had provision to place the shortcut into the start menu). But, after downloading,
and then rebooting, was surprised to see it running. Turned out this was solution.

A note for anyone downloading this program (and thanks, by the way)-
At least on my computer, this program auto launchs when you (re-)boot
the machine- the shortcut was installed in the windows start menu.
To prevent this, simply delete the shortcut, or pull to desktop - then
can launch when you want it- without haveing it run every time you
reboot your computer-- Jim NN7K
Dear Jim,
That's the first I've heard of anything like that! It certainly
doesn't do that on any of my systems here. What is your operating
system, please!
Also, if anyone else experiences that, please let me know.
Tnx,
Bob, W9DMK, Dahlgren, VA
