Well i finally got it installed, now I have a few small issues I need help on.. First is everytime I have to use my password for something, it takes me 3 tries before it accpts it. Each time I type in the correct one. Second is the desktop plus thing. While I think the moving effects are cool, sometime my whole desktop dissapears, then returns. How do you solve that problem.. While I thought I stoped background plus,it did not stop and my whole desktop dissapeard for good.. I had to log off and log back on using ctrl alt del to bring up the log off box to fix it, so hopefully there will be a solution. For now that is it. thanks..

Here is another problem that just poped up when you choose system settings adminstration, there is nothing there no icons or nothing.. I gave me a error that won't show up again, so I can't tell you exactly what it is.. This I expect on the RC version, not the paid version..

Follow the first piece of advice about updating first!.

If you have an Nvidia card, there are problems with it at the mo and a bug report has been filed!!.

Hi DD,

before you try a re-install, try running "dpkg" from the recovery menu just in case, if that doesn't work, then by all means try a re-install!.

OK reinstalled Zorin and after a few days of it doing good, I got the same problesm.. This happened after the lates updates.. When you click on system tools adminstration there is no icons, and it throw a "Sorry Zorin experience a internal error". When you go to click on the details, it says sorry can't determined which package or something like that than dissaperars.. So I can't even right down which package it is that is causing the probllem.. I reinstalled it because doing the recovery did not work.. I hate to say it, but i should have waited before I shelled out money...

Hi,

Install cairo-dock and you can access your missing icons that you don't see for admin.. Same thing happened to me.
