Vince,
The Visual C++ Runtime Library is the compiled program code that is common to
most programs created with Microsoft Visual C++ (most of the Windows software
in existence). The runtime library handles things like creating and destroying
windows, managing scroll bars, all the things that most Windows programs have
in common. The runtime files are distributed with Windows itself so that you
don't have to download the same huge files over and over with every program,
yet every program can make use of the same standard library of functions.What
you are describing is a very poorly behaved program. Although Microsoft is far
from perfect, this kind of thing is very likely not Microsoft's fault, it is
the fault of the programmer who released poorly written code. The fact that
hotbar is **spyware** (as Mike has posted) is a good indication that the
company really couldn't care less about their users to start with.
HTH,
Ron
