I installed LE again and now think I have a KDE problem. It didn seem

either. I have the menu star, desktop button (which isn working),
firefox launcher (whcih is), PIM button, and konsole button. Or did -
they have jsut this minute disappeared. I have desktop icons for the
shortcuts I had created. I had saved /home during the install. I
think KDE didn load properly as it seemed to stall when it was
initialising the monitor. Iĺl try another window manager meantime.
Can anyone help please.
I hope I can figure out how to reboot since the star menu button has
gone!
Hi rosemary-
I seem to remember running into this same problem a while back, and I
think it had to do with the monitor config I chose while installing.
Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it (that was a
frustrating day, if I recall).
Does ctrl-alt-del work to reboot, or ctrl-alt-esc to kill whatever
programs are in the way (hold the cursor on the program window and
ctrl-alt-esc, brings up a skull-and-crossbones, then hit enter).
If all else fails, main switch, reset button, or power cord!
It's midnight here in Seattle---g'night!!
Peace

Thanks for replying. I remembered the Ctrl+Alt+Del and it worked to
reboot. Treid failsafe and various things, then gave up and went to
knoppix. Couldn get to IRC in knoppix to talk to someone live, so
rebooted - and lo and behold got the ususal screen and so far everything
works. I dunno ..
