After the       first, I should have asked for help, but I think I got it worse, trying       to repair by myself .       If nothing works, I'll try to reinstall from stage3 .       thanks again :)       regards,       jf              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
