[Leaplist] About Fedora Core 8

[William H. Ferguson]

I've never gotten sound to work in Fedora core 8.

When I had a dual boot machine,  Fedora Core 8 and Windows XP the sound 
worked fine
if XP was booted.

If a friend sends me a movie clip and I try to open it, often, not 
always, my Fedora 8 computer freezes up, the cursor is frozen, neither 
Cntrl-Alt-Backspace nor Cntrl-Alt-Delete works  and the only solution is 
to turn off the power and reboot.
