Then you will have to deal with the constant barrage of problems and
updates. I was running XP up until a month ago, and I now have converted
everything over to Linux. I have no window environments at all. There
must be an issue with the sound on the computer. Have you gone to
compaq.com to find out what card you have and then checck to make sure
you have the correct module installed? As I said in past post, I am
running a Compaq 1800t with SuSE 9.1, and "ALL" of my hardware was
detected down to PCMCIA wireless nic. I would strongly suggest you try
harder before giving up. The feeling of joy knowing you dont have to
worry about viruses or trojans is worth the effort in my opinion.
