Yeah, I met same problem before. :) Did you ever get it fixed? If so, how? - Keith _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. Share information about yourself, create your own public profile at http://profiles.msn.com.

Re: [expert] HardDrake always locks my machine
There is an update for HardDrake available from the HardDrake site - the link is on the mandrake website. Lots of improvements were made - maybe that may solve your problem - I had all sorts of problems with my SBLive ! card, but the update configures it perfectly now.
