    William Witt  got me straight and everything is working I belieive.  
Another problem I had was I could not save anything to my desk top. That 
is now working.  My reply to, address is still wrong so I am adding to 
it by hand each mail to correct it.  Istill have the problem with Kino 
in that it can't capture raw or dv 1394.   Things are looking much 
better and my blood pressure is coming back into a normal range. I won't 
fool with it any more tonight :-P
