>>Does anyone know if upping the OS to 8.1 would fix this (another 13 
floppies :) ) or if there is another way to get it working?<<

Go back to 7.6.1.  8.1 is bloatware by comparison--takes up nearly twice
as much RAM, and is really slow on a head to head comparison of boot
time, app. open time, etc.  I've two 5300's side by side on my desk, and
much prefer 7.6.1.  I've tried 7.6.1, 8.1 and 8.5.1 on one of them, and
went back to 7.6.1.

8.1 takes longer to empty the trash than my teenager does, and that's
really sloooooooow.

Just as a BTW, both have the same HD, and the same RAM, and Sys.
Profiler comes up with identical data for both.
