possible to sort this out simply by deleting each of the plugins within qgis

though, now it does not crash qgis but instead just hangs. It could be
that there are too many points for it to handle (a few thousand) but it gets
through them reasonably quickly then just hangs with the little timer not
allowing anything else to be done in the program but allowing other processes
such as email.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></font></p>

saying that the plugin installer has detected obsolete versions of ftools and
gdal plugins which are masking the version shipped with qgis 1.6.
I’ve tried to fix this using the plugin installer to remove older
versions of these plugins but without success, still keep getting these
messages on startup.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
