Thanks for the explanation.....I too have disabled it in Startup and will
keep it around.

I don't think this could be a plug-in then.......it came on the ACDSee
disc with 2 photo programettes.....but the instructions were to
install it first. I don't know why on earth it is needed. I don't
view videos, for instance. Is that all it does??

Mind you, our Pentax digital camera is apparently able to take very
short videos, so that probably explains it.



It has a still photo viewer too, totally unnecessary in ME. Most cams
don't
use the .mov format either for movies, but .mpeg, so still unnecessary. I
keep it around, but just disabled the QTTASK from startup, it is just a
resource burden.
