Well, I may be stupid, but I am also very persistent (it just occurred to me, there is probably some real linkage, worth exploring, in this common pairing of persistence and stupidity). > So for me there can be two reasons it failed for you: > - there are problems with your hardware; > - or you don't do it right Surprising conclusions. Sorry, Riwal (is that your first name?) - too tempting - I could not let it go. And no, I haven't got what I would call an exotic setup. Just an assembly of relatively cheap parts, some salvaged from my older machines, so I can get within the financial limits, my wife imposes on me, every three years or so. Often it is just my old 4.3 gbyte 5 inch Big Foot that causes trouble, at other times it was my no name cdrom, or the cheap graphics card, or my external modem (one of the first 56 k Dynalink abortions), or any combination of these. But I am not giving up yet... > And I'm sure next time the All Blacks will win against France... [I > just saw the match, a friend has recorded- it was great] The All Blacks deserved to lose.
