Hi, Thanks to all the help I have successfully installed Mandrake 7.1. I am having one small issue though. I have a Sound Blaster Live and the driver loads ok, I am able to play CD's and I get the test sound when I go to the configurator. I'm not, however, able to enable system sounds. When I try to enable system sounds I get an error like: There was an error with the audio server (Esound) system sounds have been disabled. What causing this? Thanks again for the help. Joe
