Set the visible of

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Klaus,

I think it was the fact that I had visual effects in QT going and most 
of my problems were random. after I put the dontuseQT and 
dontuseQTeffects in the random problems seem to have calmed down. When 
I was switching cards back and forth really fast then I really had 
problems and I was trying everything I could think of.

It seems to be OK now. the effects are a little slower though.

Thanks

Tom
