Sorry about the line noise. I always forget how much can be fixed on windows by a reboot. It must be the most often rebooted OS on the planet. So, after a reboot my problems went away... and the best part is, even the time-slider started working.... just like nothing had happened. Oh well, I guess I can live with not knowning why all the trouble cropped up.... but I dare say it has a very heavy component of 'pilot error'. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
