I have three problems: My PCM controls alway start in high position giving me feedback when I start the system. How do I get the controls to stay where I leave them? Kaffeine always starts when I boot up. How do I stop that from happening or set other apps to start automaticly in KDE? If I have my Lexar Jump Drive plugged in it takes about ten minutes to boot. If I plug it in after I start it will take about five minutes to read it. My zip drive with a disk in it will freeze the OS on boot up and if I put the disk in after boot up I have to mount it manually after a few minutes. I am running 9.1 professional Thank you Patrick
