My sister-in-law is using Mandrake 9.0

I can't answer the specific problem but here are some suggestions:
- Have you updated all packages? There are frequent bug fixes as
well as security updates. Always the first thing to do after an install :-)
No I haven't actually.
- I know this sounds a bit windows-like, but you could try doing an
upgrade install
What's that?
An interesting point - I also installed Mandrake, from the same discs, for a friend of mine. He also has a USB printer which is not recognised as being connected although it is, apparently, supported.
I shall, however, do what you suggest and upgrade both systems to 9.1. I know that my brother has 9.1 discs from a Linux magazine so I may try that otherwise I may, as you suggest, contact you off list regarding the discs that you have.
Thanks for your help Sid.
