- Some "hidden" applications that you may not see may also have to be killed.
- For example, Norton Anti-Virus for Win95 running as a background task uses the dll.
- Also, Microsoft Office typically installs with two background tasks using the dll:
- FINDFAST and FASTBOOT. (NAV and MS Office stuff are started from the startup folder.)
- You'll have to bring up the task list to kill these, since they don't appear on the
- task bar. Also, the "auto start" screen for the CD (under Win95) uses the dll. If
- you install by clicking the install button on the window, you'll have to go back and
- kill it also.

- I was totally disgusted with the 4.1 installation. Its too bad that the many amazingly
- talented people on the VC++ team have to be embarassed by whatever bozo did the
- setup testing.
