I just wanted to say thanks for all the help you have given me with this problem and in the past with other problems. My last thread tell how Morbius1 from Ubuntuforums helped solve my problem. Now i just hope that it holds for a while. Then I first installed Mint 9 the problem didn't exist until my processor went and i switched computers and reinstalled Mint9 on that one. ever since it hasn't worked...Lets hope
Again thanks, I'm sure i'll be back with something else. Being a newbie brings us all here.

Your friend
