Causing Win95 client to crash...running over NT 4 sp5...what is qnc and what will disabling do otherwise to<br>the system?

As far as I know you can just delete it.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was in a Notes class and it kept coming up, the instructor just told us to delete it.&nbsp;&nbsp;It logs crashes but you cannot see this logging.&nbsp;&nbsp;That is what I was told, basically it is useless.

Whoa! Don't delete Quincy, just disable him.<br><br>QNC aka Quincy, is a debugger very similar to Dr. Watson. He does log crashes in a file called Notes.RIP. You need to get the RIP file annotater and the associated files for your specific version from the Lotus website. It's more often just an annoyance than a big problem.<br><br>Before I tell you how to disable Quincy, there is a huge disclaimer here:<br><br>ONLY DISABLE QNC ON CLIENTS/WORKSTATIONS. DON'T EVER EVER EVER DISABLE QNC ON A SERVER. IF YOU START TO ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS ON YOUR SERVER, LOTUS SUPPORT WILL WANT THE NOTES.RIP FILE.<br><br>Simply go the command line, and from the same directory as your Notes executables, type QNC -U. This uninstalls quincy as the default debugger. To reinstall QNC, simply type QNC -I.

I'd agree with pghmikeh in not deleting Quincy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hard drive space is cheap and plentiful, so having an unused program that *may* be handy some day is not a bother.<br><br>But Quincy himself is a big bother -- seemingly catching errors that nobody else sees (or cares about).&nbsp;&nbsp;And maybe his picky filter is set to paranoid, and perhaps that's useful, but disabling him on a new (client) computer is part of my standard practice.
