Content-free problem reports serve no useful purpose. If you're interested in reporting a problem, please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at: Following these guidelines will give people on this list some basis for helping you find the problem you're having. For example, Mikkel's report allowed me to understand that his installation was incomplete. From there, I could suggest one possible course of action: The more high-quality the problem report, the better the feedback. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
