I honestly do not know what i loaded or what i did, i think i got
something to work.
But i feel that becasue i tried to load so many different packages, i
think some are stepping on top of each other.

any help would be appriciated. I do not know what is the difference
between drivers and audio packages.


thanks
mjh
