My hard working mentor has his machine back up and running after 2 nights and yesterday at it, and when I say nights I mean 10-12 hour nights and just about the same for day hours. Anyway we beavered away this afternoon, with both Dereks and Ronalds suggestions, and on discovering that it worked for a new user we decided to delete from /.kde/share/config the kscdrc file, so once more I can play cd's. Now down to the reason for this foulup in the first place, how do I overcome the problem of cd's skipping. Anyone with ideas?? E. David I.
