Hi Eugene, I'm sorry I couldn't answer before but my machine refuses to turn on the monitor (I am on my girl's netbook now). I am not a command line guy, in fact that's what I am trying to change right now, reading a book on the subject, but I have only tried some basic commands not involving any change in system files and I am pretty sure the problem did not start there. I have a Puredyne only installment, but my external backup drive is in NFTS format. Could that be the mounting problem? If it was not that it could have been the hard reset I was forced to do, I guess. As soon as I have the chance I will follow your advice. Also, as the monitor hazaard has been a fast but gradually advancing problem and seems related to the internal clock and power settings, I thought it might be a hardware problem and I will check on monday if a motherboard battery change modifies something. Thankyou a lot for your reply. I will tell you -and the list- any further news. Best, Felix
