Thats QT Task, it can be disabled with the quicktime control panel, or prevented from loading by editing the registry.

HI,
After loading windows, go to Start and select Run, type in msconfig then press OK. Select startup and untick any referance to QT.
Hope this helps 8)

mikeyboy,
Sorry my tip didn`t work, probably because Windows 95 is so old and doesn`t allow you to configure your startup via msconfig.
I`m using Windows Me, works ok on mine.
Looks llike R.J.S is right, you`ll have to do it thru the Registry >:( but if you know very little about computers, don`t be tempted to try, you could foul the whole system up.
