I haven't seen SO 6.0 work for 3 builds..so I guess running the installer and starting the program isn't doing it correctly? Do I have to tweak it to make it work?
No, it worked just fine here out of the box. I'm thinking the one thing they have to adjust more than everything before 6.0-final is the installer. On my machine everything worked, but based on what I've seen on my friends' computers, it seems SO6 is very sensitive to your environment. More so than 5.2. I haven't seen your problem exactly, but I have seen other problems, that I haven't solved, but which seem to be SO colliding with local settings in some arcane way. Anders
