Now, that's a completely different problem...Looks like something got 
stuffed in the build.  Maybe someone else has experience with this and 
can help.  I use a Mac so, unfortunately, I cannot.  Maybe it is time to 
fix my FC12 install on my Thinkpad A22p (it is not 'state of the art' 
but it gets the job done.)
