bighap -

Thanks for the info; I removed it, and that solved the problem.
One has to wonder why Xpress placed that icon in the startup folder anyway.

The following problem was present before and after the removal of the "Drive Select" icon from the startup folder:
I have the problem that the program will not start properly. I get to the part where it asks that the user insert a DVD movie. I insert a movie and nothing happens.

I have found that I can make Xpress work by using the following:

1. Insert DVD movie.
2. Allow "AUTOPLAY" to start my "PowerDVD" movie player program to start the movie normally.
3. Shut down "Power DVD"
4. Launch Xpress.

After step 4 Xpress works okay.

Are you having this problem?

I look forward to your comments on the video quality of "Braveheart" after compression by Xpress.

Thanks,
LGS
