Power Performa: Flashing Phone Icon in Menu Bar (3/95)


I have a flashing, green telephone icon over the date and time on my menu bar. When I click on the telephone icon, a message states "Select a contact file...". Another dialog box then asks me to "Select a contact file...".

I have a Power Performa 611X. What is this and how do I turn it off?

The Power Performa computers have the Now Contact software installed. A part of the Now Contact software is a control panel called QuickContact. When the QuickContact menu icon is turned on in the control panel, this flashing telephone icon appears over the date and time on the menu bar. It's purpose is to allow quick access to a user's contact files.

To turn it off, open the QuickContact control panel and click off on the QuickContact menu icon setting.

This issue will hold true for any computer running Now Contact 1.1.
