I have received much help from the SLUG community and I would like to try and help somebody for a change.

There will be people reading this list whose computer is
not working well, who are lost in a world of not knowing which way to turn?

That was me a few days ago but then I saw the light! HALLELUJAH!!!

Instead of trying to fix the problem I pulled out the install CD and I started formatting like iv'e never formatted before in my life!
and then I re installed fc6 onto my computer.

While that may fix the problem in some cases it doesn't help you learn anything and actually encourages bad behaviour. It's the windows mentality: reboot, upgrade or reinstall. You've been lucky but there are many problems which reinstalling can't fix, and in those cases by reinstalling you just waste time without finding the cause of the problem.

You'd be better served gathering detailed information and googling or asking for advice on the list.
