    OK, then if you can login as root, you have the power,
    and can fix it.

    > when I type in startx...display error

    please show that error message. Then we can help.

    hey dude,

    thanks for the immediate reply. when i boot up my fedora 7,i can only see the mouse cursor but the login screen won't show. what i did is to press crtl+alt+F1 to get to the console and login from there. I can log on to root and to my other account. when i type startx i got this error message.

    FATAL SERVER ERROR:
    Server is already Active for Display 0
    if this server is no longer running remove /tmp/.x0-Lock
    and start again.
    Xlib: connection to "0.0" refused by server
    Xlib: INvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
    giving up.
    Xinit: unable to connect to X server
    Xinit: no such process (erno 3): server error

    what should i do. need help. Either using yum or cd.

    Thanks..
