Well, I recently had a power failure and when I rebooted there was a problem
with the startup. I figured FC would take care of it just like windows does
and there'd be no problem. I'm not so sure it did, a file may have gotten
corrupted somewhere.
Anyway, I am on version 6 and have been meaning to upgrade but I didn't have
the time but rather than spend any more time on this I am going to do a fresh
install of FC9. I'm sure that will take care of it.
Thank all,
Jim
