On a slightly different but similiar subject, I was freaking out all day because all of the sudden, my modem wouldn't function and I had no sound. I kept trying everything, searching for the files it said it was missing, even went as far as restoring all the original software on the system which should have corrected the problem. I really didn't want to have to take it to a technician or anything but I was completely at a loss and didn't have a clue what to do next. So I thought I'd just take the outside cover off and check to see if everything was in tight and lo and behold, it was all covered in dust. So I wiped it all off and blew some out (two years of collected dust), put the side back on and booted it up again...and everything that had been missing suddenly reappeared. Immediately, my mood completely reversed and all of the clouds that had gathered up dispersed right away. I guess a little cleaning never hurts. Now if I can just keep applying this to other facets of my life... Victor --- Victor Johnson --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- EarthLink: The #1 provider of the Real Internet.
