*Hello Leonard,

The OO.o was just an example, it is happening on other programs as well...

My system has two hard drives,  with Intrepid installed on both of them, 
on this hard drive everything works fine, the other HD also did at one 
time, but now it seems to have gotten messed up some how...They both are 
keep'ed up to date, so it isn't from any updates that have been install...

So I just wanted to know if anyone had the same problem and had a fix 
for it...

Thanks for the reply...

Larry
