Okay, just for everyone's knowledge, Vista has this annoying habit of asking if I want to save a password. On my sites, I have several with similar domains and differnt passwords. Vista mucks them up.
This - plus an annoying habit of locking up on a regular basis - decided me that I'd just simply go with SUSE 10.2 and create a VMWare XP machine. So, last night I painlessly installed 10.2 on my laptop (which went flawlessley) and am now up on KDE. Even my multimedia keys are recognized!!

Okay, one problem. It seems when I'm using firefox - which is most of the time - I get a lock up. The clock icon shows and I can pretty much do nothing but power off. EXT3 - which I noticed replaced reiser -
Install FFX 2.0.0.3 - I had same problem that was solved doing this. I suspect the flash plugin - update that aswell.
The machine doesnt really lockup - but flash has this annoying feature of capturing your keyboard and mouse, and not giving it back.
In future try a CTRL-ALT-F1 and see if you can login with root and kill the offending process. If not, try SSH into it - if that doesnt work reboot and diagnose using the /var/log/messages log.
And if this does not help, you might step back and think about it: -You installed Vista and it was locking up. Fwiw I played around with Vista on a friends AMD X2 Notebook and despite what people say, it runs and behaves absolutely ok, just like a security optimised XP. -You installed SuSE and something is locking up. Are you sure, your hardware is ok? regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
