My desktop upgrade, 9.1 to 9.3, left my network card, sound, and usb 
non-functional.  But with a fresh install (I don't format home so as to keep 
preferences and personal files) all things not related to previous 
preferences work splendidly.  The only issue so far with previous preferences 
has been Firefox.  Not sure what happened, but if I tried to bookmark a page, 
it crashed.  Go figure.

I also had Mplayer running under 9.1.  It played dvd's, wmv, quicktime no 
problem, but nothing seems to work yet for 9.3. Oh Bother.
