Fred,

What happens when you use QTR without the GUI? If it works OK that
way, then the problem is with the GUI. I have the same system,
including the loopback adaptor and except for XP Pro instead of Home
Ed. There are a number of issues that can stop the process at various
stages, I suggest that you carefully go over all the instructions to
be sure that all the files are in the right folders, this is critical.
I have found that I must let the setup program install the files where
*it wants to* regardless of what's convenient for me, in order to be
sure of locations.

Also, search for "loopback adaptor" in this list to get all the info
on it's installation, there are some important steps that are covered
in a reference link in one of the messages that helped me get it to
work properly.

Hans,

A loopback adaptor is needed to simulate a network for QTR to work. It
is a Microsoft program included in XP and they have some of the info
needed on setting it up. If you got QTR to work without one, you must
have a networked printer on your system.
