What have you done in that time... Instead of waiting for the right response, a quick google search would have shown you that the email address you were using was wrong.

I checked again prior to sending this email - the information seems fine. However the information in those links depends on what OS your using, and has some warnings about loosing customisations, etc.... It is easier to send links to people than copy it all in an email. Admittedly it means you have to read the link, but as per the previous comment, perhaps you need to do something more than just wait for the answers. A google search done by yourself would have solved your problem yourself without having to wait 2-3 weeks in the first place. Open source software communities (staffed by volunteers) encourage people to help themselves first, search for the answers themselves, and then when all else fails ask questions the smart way ( http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html). > Maybe, since I just started getting an error message right after I was > forced to download the 3.2 version because my hard drive crashed.

I'm copying in the [email protected] mailing list since someone else on that list may be able to assist. @users: this OP is not subscribed - please ensure you cc them to all replies. /paul > Thanx in advance, > Greg Chester >
