I am able to use the C/D to start in a failsafe mode and can log on as root but it is text only that is login.... password..... Then a black screen with white txt Maybe it would be worth while trying. Are you able to give me some instructions to try please? Regards John
DCOP is part of the KDE infrastructure if I recall correctly. Can you log in to a console as root? You could delete and re-add your user, which would save a reinstall.
If you boot off the install CD again, you can just install over the top of your existing linux install (As long as you are installing the same version you installed beforehand).
