Thanks for the info. The Kubuntu I'm using was a fresh install as of this last weekend. All bugs and patches installed. I'm thoroughly baffled as I've read here of many people being able to run apps under Kubuntu but I'm having all sorts of problems. I'll post over in the Kubuntu boards and see if I can get additional info on there. I appreciate any additional info on how to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks, Freddie
