It's halfway true that I'm using 7.1 as I tried to upgrade once, but I
had to reinstall everything on newly formatted partitions. I don't think
there is a trace of 7.1 now.
And SO _did_ work before this update. Let me also say that I downloaded
OpenOffice 6.0, installed it, ran it and deleted it.
I've also tried to run "setup"(which works..stange :)) and did a repair.
No luck.
I've tried reinstalling SO 5.2 all over. Deleted the old directory and
did a fresh install. No luck.
I'm now out of options, but if I have to reinstall MDK, then I will do
it. I just hope there is a solution before I take this drastic step. As
for some of us, "Time is Money" :)
Thanks for the help so far.
