Hello, @nene, that was my first intention, but sinds the laptop is very young and i could not get the sound working , i presumed it was the kernel that did not support the audio device, and so i gave up on this, other distro's with the 2.6.31 kernel did play the sound but they where all unstable at some point. grts Sprintby sprint955 - [OLD] - Installed Mode
Hello, Thanks for the fast reply, Well Win7 is the host OS, here is the Vmware player installed, en in this vmware player i am running Elive in as guest.

Hello @ Squirrel, thanks i think i found out why the other distro's did freeze and Elive did not.
