Having had this problem, the Norton speeddisk restart problem can arise where there is a virus background monotor (even Norton's own program) in memory. Alternatively, the problem may go away if you do run "Start|Run|sd32.exe /reset / noanimation" (I got this from Symantec). Although it worked for me, I now use Ontrack for this.

Am I the only person still using QEdit 2.15 in DOS? It works fasssssst (although I sometimes use version 4 for a bit more power). Some of my images are flowcharts which come into Inspiration as indented text files (from QEdit) and are exported to JPG format when I have the boxes, text and colours and whatever as I want them. Otherwise, i would have stopped using text!
