Thanks, guys, for trying to help me - I'm not going to do anything, however, because that's exactly what I'm afraid of: that my netbook would be completely unusable after I play around without really knowing what I'm doing. I'll just have to put up with the inconvenience of not being able to see or hear certain stuff until I find someone who can help me hands-on, not just virtually... But thanks anyway! Dorothea
