Hi Mark, I found out what the problem was. I made a reinstall of Mandrake (I've made about 5 reinstalls by now) and I chose the older video driver (not the 3D-accellerated one that was offered). Now the system works almost fine. The only thing that doesn't work is Nautilus. I can't seem to uninstall it from gnome so I'm trying to do it the hard way from my terminal. For me that's really a challenge, since I'm usually a mac user. My intention is to uninstall Nautilus and reinstall it. Any suggestions on how to do that are really welcome. As I said, I'm really a newbie. Just finding the correct linux commands to use the terminal, is a big challenge for me....

Its a video problem and as I recall there isn't much that can be done about it. You may want to check the archives on this one. However, I have a feeling that your best bet is going to be to go with OS X for you Imac. That will have the video drivers that your machine will need to operate correctly. Mark
