Umm... either c) or go back to KDE3?? I don't know about other versions of KDE3.1 but this is a known issue with KDE3.1 from texstar which is where I got mine from (and same problem). Haven't had time to sort it out yet, but I know that this problem was mentioned in textstar's forums. There may have been a fix posted, but like I said, I haven't had time to look it up. It doesn't bother me since I rarely access my cdrom, floppy or zip drives via konq anyway. At least you're not alone... ;) Sharrea -- Help Microsoft stamp out piracy - give Linux to a friend today ------------------ Mandrake Linux 9.0
