I just installed SuSE 10 last night, (I was using suse 9.2, and have used 8, 7.2, 6.4) However I have two issues: 1. Sound works with kde start up and ping/poobs, etc. But I am unable to hear music any other way such as listening to music using the default music player, or from gaim. 2. Also last night when I did the install I never saw the question being asked about where to put grub, and mbr, etc. And now I can not get into windows. The option is there, it is still pointed to /dev/sda1, but I get an error from windows. I tried a few things, and I still cant'. Kind of important to me as I do play games still, and I have a software raid scsi set up from windows that I need access to. Anyone able to help point me in the right direction? I am going to see if I can restore the MBR to pre-install once I am off work. (I thought I enabled VNC so I could do it from work, but it looks liek I didn't open a hole in the firewall) Thank you guys much!

It would help if you could send us your /boot/grub/menu.lst so we could see what grub is looking at. It may be a simple change to that file. I wouldn't go messing with the MBR just yet if you can help it. Grub was probably installed on your MBR and that's fine. Just need to get it to boot into Windows.

What do you mean by "I get an error from Windows"? What does the message say?

The error message I currently get is
"Windows could not start because of an error in the software.
Please report this problem as :
load needed DLL's for kernel
Please contact your support person to report this problem."
However, it might be trying to boot off of /dev/hda1 wich at one time
had an install of XP because installing windows likes to default
instal on ide rather than scsi. Also I would like to avoid having to
re-install windows (or an in place upgrade).
Looking more into it now (Still can't figure out the soudn thing, kde
and super tux sound works, nothing else, like gaim,amarok, kaffein
