Slower opening up Star Office, slower opening files, slower printing etc.Can I do anything to speed things up? I think there are some more serious problems with your setup, but I need more information... =( -Stephen- Hi Stephen, Hey I appreciate your various suggestions/comments to my questions (and to those of many others) in this forum. Well, what can I tell you? The box is an HP Pavilion 6425, with AMD K-2 500 + 64 MB RAM..PCI modem, which of course doesn't work in Linux (no sound either, yeah I know I have to change the soundcard). The installation of MDK7 as I mentioned earlier (Prob4 Acrobat4...elsewhere) went fine, though I can't remember which one I chose. I dont know what else you might need to know...? Paul
[newbie] Prob1-KDE desktop
Hi again people, I was tinkering (logged on as user Paul) in KDE and the result is this..when I rightclick on the desktop and select the New option, I only have the Folder icon...ive lost the device, application etc icons.This only happens when logged on in my name..Logged on as root or other users gives me the full list of options under the New submenu. What do I have to do to get those options back? Thanks to all in advance. Paul
[newbie] Prob2- Netscape
Hi again, 3 quickies: 1 - Netscape just shuts itself down sometimes without warning...is this a Netscape oddity or a Mandrake Linux problem? 2 - is Netscape so meant to look so dull and lacking in colour? (compared to the win version it IS a bit boring to look at) 3 - Netscape is noticibly slower connecting and loading pages off the Webis this normal? Oh, I'm using ver 4.7 that came with MDK7.0 Thanks again in advance for everyones patience. Paul Ps...I think a couple of these questions were previously aired in this forum, but I had a little accident and wiped out a whole bunch of stuff :o(
