Then I get useful answers. The strace program, Dale suggests, is a good answer for me. I am not only using Vista after all. I still can boot Gentoo/Linux to find the answer by that program. If I explain the esoteric context, to ask a simple newby question thereafter, people often give crazy comments and you go without an answer. Everything out of their horizon is evil for some stubborns. That is also a real live experience. It is tiresome, if that happens to often. I guess you knows this, you ask: How to do this and that ... people start a political discussion ... why do you want to do this and that? Time is lost, no answer yet. That is often simply counter productive. Hence, I became a little conservative with explaining esotric contexts. But, in this case it was the other way round. I got the comments, because I didn't explain the context. There isn't a perfect world. :-) > think you are running as well....so I don't know, you may have better > results on the specialized gentoo-alt list, but if you want to post > here go ahead...just give us some details :) Have a nice WE Al
