   Thanks Malthus   
   I copied all my lib files from the PE partition /boot/home/config/lib and   
   also /boot/beos/system/lib to the Pro partition three diffrent times and   
   still my games and some apps still wouldn't work. I finally deleted all my   
   lib's off of the Pro partition /boot/home/config/lib and   
   /boot/beos/system/lib and replaced the whole folders and everything worked   
   great again. The funny thing is I installed the same new lib packs that   
   works perfectly now. Must have been corupted some how. Thank god I keep PE   
   to troubleshoot my pro partition. I just finished backing up my whole   
   partition to a zip file. This will never happen again. BEOS works so   
   flawlessly you never expect haveing problems with it. I tried zeta once but   
   couldn't get it to work on my laptop so went back to R5 and never regretted   
   it.
