Dear friends, Thanks for the quick replies. Unfortunatelly VMwareplayer can only see the default soundcard in Windows XP. I do not want to have the default soundcard being used by the digital mode programs since my XYL uses this PC many times to listen to radio-stations from her homeland and to MP3s (no we are not that young hi hi hi). Windows Media player, Realplayer and many other programs want to use the default soundcard. Therefore I will have to do my tests with my laptop which has one soundcard and it works fine. Anyway when I find out how everything works I will install PSKmail and Fldigi in my Slackware Linux Box, hopefully before Per goes to Cyprus (crossing my fingers). --- 73 de Demetre Valaris - SV1UY e-mail: sv1uy@xxxxxxxxxxx AX25 PBBS: SV1UY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://sv1uy.ampr.org/~sv1uy http://www.athnet.ampr.org/~sv1uy P.S. Has anyone had any problems with the FONTS in fldigi? After a few hours in idlemode the become tiny, like dots!!! I have to pretend that I change the fonts and after I click OK they become readable again!!
