Bill,

It would have been nice if you had told us what steps you have already
tried on your own, so that you (and the list) don't end up receiving
40-50 repetitive suggestions for something you have done.

I am going to assume that you have Win95...

1. Click START --> PROGRAMS --> START UP
   Is there a FAXWORKS item in there?  If so, then start over and
   CLICK START-->SETTINGS-->TOOLBARS--> START MENU PROGRAMS-->REMOVE
   now use the explorer-like window to open PROGRAMS-->START UP
   and remove the FAXWORKS item.

If that didn't help,

2. Click START--> RUN --> and type in SYSEDIT.
   A. Check AUTOEXEC.BAT for a command line that has FAXWORKS.EXE
      (or some variation like FAXWRKS1.EXE)
   B. Check WIN.INI for a RUN= or LOAD= statment that includes
      FAXWORKS.EXE
