[X Newbies] Probably a dumb question

[jc]

It was a pref that apparently was bad. I took all of them back and put 
a few at a time back in but couldn't seem to find it (when they were 
all out I didn't have the problem). Anyhow, long story short I went the 
other way and took 5 at a time out and if it was still flakey I put 
them back. After about the 6th group of five all of a sudden it wasn't 
flakey. I just left the five out (they had something to do with sound) 
and it's been fine ever since. Thanks for help Birgit and Jerry.
