I can't offer you a solution, but I can commiserate with you. The same thing happened to me a couple of days ago and I never could figure out how to get it back. I wound up re-installing and hoping that it won't happen again. I've got RH8 installed on a laptop and 2 desktop machines. The laptop has been fine and my powerful desktop as well. This happened on my low-end desktop (266 Mhz, 1999-vintage Vaio). Don
