The application launches asks for the password but then becomes "Not Responding" for which I need to Force Quit. What is the problem and what should I do??? </blockquote></div> You might be able to learn more about the problem if you watch the .xsession_errors file in you home directory. That contains all of the error output from programs started from the GUI. Before trying to run a program type this from your home directory in a console window: <div style="margin-left: 40px;">tail -f .xsession_errors </div> You could also try the same thing with /var/log/messages, which contains all system-level error messages. -- Vince
