Now the icons etc are OK and the NIC is fine. Still having problems with the sound. I ran sndconfig and it seemed to be working. I could hear the sample sound. Sound is enabled from the preferences/sound menu. When I run the sound card detection from the system menu nothing is found. The hardware browser finds the sound card with no problem. End result of all this is no sound. I'm stuck as to where to go from here. Tom Achtenberg Check out my home page at http://www.achtenberg.com Register your own domain for as low as $7.95 per year.
