    We all on NTL, by chance? I've been having problems with them this evening - mostly HTTP requests, but MSN has been patchy as well...

    go to start, and click on run

    in the box type "cmd" and hit enter, which brings a black box up

    make sure you dont have msn running

    in the black box you need to enter "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter

    close the black window, and then reopen msn messenger

    Don't you just press CTRL, ALT and DELETE about 10 times in a row?

    Excellent! You mean that after the last half-decade of using open-source products full time, they're still not mature enough to have simple things like 'start' buttons?

    Damnit, I'm off to find a proper operating system! I've been waiting years for them to implement those nice blue screens with white writing on them...

    Just kidding ;). And I'll stop taking this thread off-topic now...

    woo linux users are we? we do have start buttons, kinda. Depends on the WM, on KDE its jsut the first panel button. Often called the K button, on fluxbox blackbox and enlightenment, it your right click button :thumb: IceWM its in IceWM button in the lower left and im not sure about GNome but i think its simaler to kde.

    Does the K button put you in the K-hole?? :D

    Gnome either has a single menu like KDE does, or it's divided in more than one, which are different depending on the version. In 2.12 there's "Applications", "Places" and "System".

    FreeBSD generally, and I was being pedantic about the start button ;).

    I've had to install Linux because my new sound card isn't supported by FreeBSD yet. I'm gutted :(. Am finding Kubuntu very nice though :).
