Why am I having to post this stuff again... we've been through this before, it's still on the forum .. that's what the search box is for.

For flash etc. .. see here:

for sound (on *your* PC), see here:

Wo! Mr grumpy. 

Chill out time required.   

Isn't the point Toonman. A search box is there for a reason, it serves the purpose of finding other threads to see if there are solutions to problems of similar to yours (yours being the person looking for a solution.). It's common sense just to type in a few words, and bobs your uncle, a solution. Threads such as these aren't required if there are many solutions and many threads of the same topic.

Don't agree BKS.

If we a 'short' with people they may not come back.

It's not an issue I have with Mark, he has been extremely helpful with me.  In fact I have probably more stupid questions than anybody  and I'm more deserving of a clip behind the ears.

Well if they don't comeback then that's up to them. Remember this forum is administrated by "volunteers" who dedicate a lot of their valuable time helping with mine, and yours, and everyone else's picky problems. Mark's a very helpful guy indeed, I think between both me & you, we deserve a clip round the ears as I have made many topics. >.<

We'd fixed both of those issues for the second time in the last few days ..  he'd upgraded to 11.04 and it went badly, but we fixed both of those issues before I advised a fresh re-install .. search wasn't really necessary, the earlier thread (with links to the first time we fixed them) would probably still have been on the forum front page.

I answered the question .. again .. but wanted to make the point that "Search" is there for a reason

But point taken .. I was having a bit of an off day, and shouldn't have allowed it to spill onto this forum .. or just not responded at all, and 'forced' a search.

@ theporter2000 - I apologise if I came across as overly aggressive.
