Thanks for your reply James. I wasn't able to run anything sytem-related. SynapMgr, Update Mgr, RunApp all would crash upon starting, The way I got around it was running the "mv status status-broken" then "cp status-old status" - got this from the forum, which I'm happy about. I'll be leaving that on my problem log if you want or if you want to place that as a possible workaround/resolution. Only two other things that are bugging me but the more I read the more I realize that it's more of a bug/glitch with flash player and Ubuntu, as well as getting a good BitTorrent program other than Azureus that crashes every 4mins. The generic BitTorrent is staggeringly slow, like 2kbps, which in Windows, Azureus did 60-80kbps on average. If you know of anything I can do to help me with torrent downloads, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again James - take care and God bless.
