Thanks everyone. You've all been very helpfull. Much appreciated. I've gotten closer to figuring out what the problem is caused by I think. I didn't even think about but I just installed a "Belkin OmniCube 2port ps/2 switch" thee other day so that I could share my big monitor between my win2k box and gentoo.
Well I just had win2k freeze completely. No recovering from that no matter what I try. Atleast gentoo allows me to recover. So it looks as though this probably has to do with the new switch. Yee-Haw.. using linux is like being a super computer detective. Now I have something new to diagnose and figure out today. Geesh...and to think the day was going be boring. Heh.. never with linux. :D Woo-hoo Thanks again, JBanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
