Re: OS 8.1 problem.

That's the funny thing. I did nothing. I was merely browsing teh web
one night, then the next day it refused to work. However, after
performing a clean install I rid myself of the problem. It now
works, though i've had to reinstall some other software as a result
of the clean install.
