Thanks Joe I didn't know what the summary on the Mandrake 9.1 was supposed to do since I got a blank screen on that particular spot in the setup where my installation locked up. The question I have is there anything in that part of the setup that would cause a lag when starting applications. You said that is the area where you get to configure hardware that is found and add hardware that wasn't detected. Could there be any thing in there that could be configured wrong to cause my problem. If there is then my problem could be solved by configuring what ever it is that might be configured wrong.
