Please activate it in Control Center >KDE components >Service Manager If you want to use the devices:/protocol. Problem is there is no KDE Components >Service Manager. I have Services & User Manager but neither list KDE Components. I have spent a lot of time on Google & F1 looking for the answer so far nothing useful. I am using the Mag Cover CD Version2 Standard. I have downloaded and installed all the updates and a few games other than that it is a standard install.	i-gordon (962)

Normally, if it has been set up to start at boot time, the problem is usually getting rid of it. :D If apropos finds manual information for it, and it looks as if that's what it is actually called, try service mountwatcher start or if that isn't available, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountwatcher start.

253935	2004-07-21 05:07:00	Graham I tried all your suggestions nothing. I followed the path rc.d & init.d both in etc/ neither lists mountwatcher. I did a search for mountwatcher. Nothing	i-gordon (962)
253936	2004-07-21 06:37:00	Well mountwatcher is part of the kdebase/kioslave/devices/kio_devices.cc thingy (cvs-digest.org). What does your fstab look like - cat /etc/fstab. Are there devices listed which you do not have eg, floppy drive?	Jen C (20)
253937	2004-07-21 12:23:00	Thanks for your help Jen & Graham but none of this makes much sense to me . Probably because I dont know much about Linux. So I am going to reinstall from the start and see what happens. I may have missed something the first time. Thanks again for your time.	i-gordon (962)
