Hi Don,

If worse comes to the worse and if you need someone to visit you to
have this fixed - I could come to visit you to have a look. That is,
if you live in London and not very far from Putney SW15 :)

I've helped fix a few desktops before. I can't promise success but I
can try my best. I am not specifically a "Suse Linux" user, but have
played with it from time to time.

I won't charge you anything, but for a cup of tea and the day's
travelcard. I don't drive. And am only functional on sunny days - late
afternoons.

Again, if you get really stuck give me shout.

kind regards

Henry Gilbert
