thanks for the tip. i had noticed that when i rebooted (i dual boot with win98 for a few games i have) that the squid deamon was failing to stop normally. i attempted to stop the deamon through the services menu and it failed to stop also. i then uninstalled it. also, i noticed that mysql and postgresql were both installed. since i'm only interested in learing mysql (for now), i stopped the postgresql deamon and uninstalled it also. the innd deamon ran installed and running. since i'm not creating my own news server i stopped the deamon and removed the program. if anything i've done seems (or is) wrong, please feel free to let me know. thanks, again. -iggy
