Hi all.
Today I installed the download version of MDK-10 I had been running 9.2
with no problems but thought I'd try the upgrade to get later versions
of everything. Boy was that a mistake!!
Everything is dramatically slower from boot up to surfing the web.
KMail crashes every time I click
Thanks for the help.
It took several steps but the final secret was the electric eyes app. I now
have the image saved on my disk in a form I can use.
Thanks.
