Try installing it again. Are you using an RPM or the bin file? You may need to remove an old codec for it to work. Here are some sites that may help you a bit:

No, I haven't really toyed with Java yet. I have been attempting to learn C++ and so far I am enjoying it. I have also been recieving help with Linux and I have begun to delve into that world full...

No, I didn't. Was I supposed too? As I am fairly new to the world of Linux is there any way can explain what a umask is or point me in the direction of a good site for it? I know that is has...

Yes, I set permissions to 777 and I added the user to the wheel group. That is why it is wierd. You would think that I would have no problems out of it but I still do. Thanks for your help. Any other...

I recently (with help from a friend) installed Slackware 9.1 and Dropline Gnome. I changed permissions for my regular user so I could access my drives and not have to "su root" everytime. Here comes...

I am kind of in a learning rut right now. I have read enough on Linux to get the basics down pretty good. I am even on my way to learning about tweaking some configurations. It is all great fun but...

I am running Slackware 8.0 and I was wondering if it is possible to use ipchains to stop incoming traffic on all ports, but to allow certain services (ssh for example) to be able to have outgoing...

Alright, I added the line to the top of the lilo.conf file. I checked for the link but it is not there. I take it I need to create a link to it. Will it need to be a hard link or a symbolic link? I...

I have installed Slackware 8.0 on another system of mine and I am having a bit of trouble trying to get the cd burner to work. I have read the CD Writing-HOWTO but it is still pretty hard to...

I am sitting here posting to Anti through a jury-wrigged connection from hades.I have a pentium 1 setup running RH 7.1 with a 33.6 modem and an ethernet card that is connecting two other conputers....

I was fooling around with settings in Windows and found an option to show a screen after my comp. dials my ISP. It is a login screen for their router I am pretty sure , so I was wondering is it...

Yes, I just thought it would be something interesting to do in my spare time. I don't want any type of box just a phone. I was playing with ours and got kind of interested in how it can take your...

A few weeks back my friend told me he posted somehing on building "boxes", there is NO real world use for these but to cheat the phone company, and it's illegal to use them, so that is totally out of...

Thank you for all of your posts it's been interesting to read on what other people think about some of my ideas. I really appreciate the responses.

What OS are you running? It will help to figure it out. I learned by screwing up also. I unattached my floppy while the comp was still on. Needless to say it runs wierd now. I had no clue that a...

A little off subject but wouldn't using frontpage give away what OS you are running? Isn't it a good idea to keep this a secret as much as posible? You can view the source off a page and tell right...

There is no such thing as a stealth scanner. This is just based on that you won't get caught as easily. Nmap is good I've heard but can be innacurate as from what a friend told me it only sends out...

We all believe in something. Everyone does, you do yourself. Most believe in a god or some spiritual being, not all do I know,but even if you don't you are believing in not believing. Funny thought...

I installed some AT&T software so I would be able to access the internet and everytime I go online a window pops up and asks me if I would like to update my software. I have looked through the...

Well I am new here and I haven't posted much, but why does it matter what your "status" is? I mean it's really stupid to worry, you are what you are. We are all here to learn and better ourselves and...

I learned on an IBM PC no joke at all my dad had it before i was even born and used it up until 6 years ago. He told me back then a 30 mb hardrive was $1,500 dollars. It had DOS 2.0 and had one 5 1/4...

All of the computer I have have been given to me and as a result they have been far behind in speed and performance. I learned DOS 5 on an old Compaq 286 that was pulled out of a dumpster near my...

I take it you have a computer with Windows on it now or you wouldn't be asking which *nix to start out with. My suggestion is to learn Windows or whatever your current OS is. Then once you have...

I suggest setting the resoulution on the monitor down to 800x600. Also a new graphics card just might be the ticket. You can still buy PCI videocards. Some GeForce4's are like this. I have also seen...

I still fool around on DOS a little bit. Believe it or not my dad still used one of the original IBM PC's until 4 years ago when the HD died. Thanks for the quick refresher on the basics. I too was...
