Williams ->mwilliams1 AT msmail4 DOT hac DOT com Some TSRs can be turned off by typing a partcular command (or using a particular hot-key). Some can even be unloaded, *if* they were the last TSR to load. If the TSR isn't programmed with a way to turn it off, I think you're forced to reboot. In theory you could go into DOS memory with a memory editor (for instance, DEBUG) and fix the interrupt jump tables to bypass the TSR, but it's a lot more work (and a lot riskier) than a three-finger chord.
