- Delete extra apps from WBStartup?? Geesh, whadda waste! No, I think Nick's
- problem is derived from the startup *priority* of the Virus Checker main
- program. More than likely the preemptive priority of VC is conflicting with
- another program, or with Workbench. I think I remember that it runs at a
- priority of 19 on my machine, and it works fine. I also have MultiCX and
- ScreenMenu running from the WBStartup drawer with no problems, although I can't
- remember their priorities. Check the proiorities of all your programs contained
- in that drawer.
