Thnaks.

I'd rather not spend more money on this system right now if I could help
it.

Can you point me to any discussions of the nature of this problem?

Is there a know workaround?

It just seems strange that it willwork when booted from the CD, and not
once it's installed to teh hard disk. What's  the issue here? I suspect if
I understood what exactly was going on, I might be able to develop a
workaround.

Thaks for the help here!
