Sounds like the problem wasn't with the uninstall, but instead the
reinstall, since it never finished with installing QuickTime. Did you try
pressing F8 during boot without using the floppy, and accessing safe mode
that way? While your in safe mode, run scandisk to check for drive errors,
then try rebooting normally afterwards. It's possible only one critical file
was damaged and once removed you may be able boot normally. If not then
reinstall windows.

Yes, QuickTime is shared among, just about any games from Borland, and other
stuff like some encyclopedias for example and apparently PageMaker since
that's what was installing it.
