doh. yeah, silly me. it didn't occur to me for some reason that the
problem would be that simple. heh heh...

yep same here.

i tried that several times and it didn't seem to help...

from recent talks here it seems that the s3v server stuff is being
incorporated into the svga server and that the support is better. this
all came to light when i tried to install star office 5 and my machine
locked up. people using the same hardware as me said that it wasn't
happening with the svga server.
it appears that star office has a patch on their site to fix this problem
(good for them) but unfornately the file it points to is currently
missing (bad for them). so i'm still waiting to print out my word file :(
thanks,
adam.
