Austin i have somewhere to start. First: what do you recommend as a fix for the graphics drivers? Can I reinstall the drivers and recover? if so, your suggested steps 1-2-3..?? Second: I did have drives tab of winecfg working at some point. It clearly listed them and no mount error.. I'm afraid i've no experience running a compile.. I don't know the first step... What could have messed up Ubuntu in the first place? I don't remember, but I could have run sudo something that sholdn't have been...is that it? Third: I like your solution for capturing the errors from wincfg. If nothing else, at least I can put up those errors here, for analysis and a narrowing down of the problem. All in all, I really do thank you for your help. Especially on this holiday.. Appreciate it very much Rick (shobu99)
