The system here is 4.4 Release. this is usually due to Windows leaving the laptop in a state unexpected by FreeBSD. i think you have a different problem here. > Maybe some hardware is broken, cant remember something like this when I > used the machine some months ago.

Maybe I should try to install another play. i am really betting quite strongly on my first assertion being correct! but i obviously could be wrong.... > H. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message > -- John L.
