That could be true flupke, mine is a VIA chipset. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, if I accidentally choose shutdown, I just choose alt-cntrl-del and it finishes it. But if it can be fixed...cool. I will look into it with my system. Thanks, Bambi Now do you you know how to get lxdoom to work

That worked on my brother computer. He has a SOYO socket 7 motherboard. I forget the exact model. He disabled apmd and it got better. When I had that same motherboard in my old computer I had to disable Advanced power management in my bios and apmd to get it to stop. Dacia --- Paul <[EMAIL P
