Sort of. You've changed versions pretty seriously, so its very likey that you've got a big mess left behind. Its possible to clean up this mess, if you know what you are doing. If there is nothing on the box that you want to keep, its probably faster to reinstall. Otherwise you can muddle through, but for the most part, unless you show some pretty specific problems in rather fine (and not too long) detail, you are pretty much on your own. Sorry! For this, the questions@ and newbies@ lists are better than current@. M -- Mark Murray iumop ap!sdn w,I idlaH
