yes...the entry in the lilo.conf is the same as you've posted. And I think I've narrowed it down to a hardware problem in the computer itself cause I'm not able to get it to sync in windows now either, however the visor does communicate ok on my Supervisor's system. So it would appear that there's something wrong on the mobo with the USB ports that is causing the problem. -- daRcmaTTeR Registered Linux User 182496 Mandrake 8.2beta1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 12:05pm up 17 min, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.08, 0.08
