I started windows today and when everything finished coming up, I had no Quick Access window, yet my startup programs had started. I have tried to open it via the Window menu (Window-More...-Quick Access), but it doesn't appear. I set the NDWErrorCode or whatever that setting in the NDW.INI file is to 1 to see if I was getting errors, but none so far. Are the locations of the group windows stored somewhere I can edit, or is it in the group file? Maybe the window is just located somewhere off my screen. This all happened when I tried to run Procomm Plus for Windows and it came up with an error telling me that it couldn't allocate a system timer and to close another app. I've never had this problem until I stared using NDW and it's screen saver (Sleeper). I know it's Sleeper causing the sys timer alloc problem, but didn't know if this could have some other bizaar effect. How can I get my Quick Access window back? -- Christopher R.

Double click on the C drive icon. From the button bar on the bottom or from the view menu, select filter. Select custom *.qag. 2. Browse your NDW directory, maybe its in your windows directory - I forgot, and look for qaccess.qag. This is the group file. Just drag and drop it into any other group for now. 3. Then drag it out to the desktop. Garry

The most annoying is a Procomm Plus for Windows interaction; if I pull up PPW then close it, any subsequent attempt to open it will result in an error message "unable to open COM2 -- port in use". This never happened until I installed NDW. The only workaround I've been able to find is to pull up WinFAX Pro (of all things) which will immediately note that COM2 is busy -- do you want to reset it. After resetting the port I send WFP away and then I can open PPW normally. The bugs in NDW 2.0 are legion. Dialog boxes with font problems, automatic processes that claim I don't have enough memory available (8 Meg of RAM not enough??!), mysterious unexplained system slowdowns, etc. If it didn't have such useful utilities I'd have chucked it by now. -- Brent Capps (B4) htw-c++g+k++s-e++ | Collars and blindfolds and bullwhips bcapps@agora.rain.com (gay stuff) | that sting, these are a few bcapps@atlastele.com (telecom stuff) | of my favorite things
