This isn't windows, so why should we reboot? I'm pretty sure that there's something that you can restart without rebooting. And anyway, there IS a 'fix' to this for FC3, I just don't remember it at the moment. Google probably does. As one who cut the wire to the PC speaker 3 operating systems ago, I never cared to 'fix' it. Dotan Cohen http://Song-Lirics.com/
