These days, there's not much which comes for free. OTOH, you usually get what you pay for, so... ;-) I'll have a look at Diane's machine tomorrow and will post some files. Right now, about the only thing which hangs it (and is the showstopper) is UniAUD. A couple videos from youtube, and hard lockup. Other than that, I have booting and shutdown working fairly well. I'll see if something jumps out at me when I dig into it, and will follow up. -- Lewis --------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLE, CLP Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia http://www.2rosenthals.com ---------------------------------
