	There is a patch available through FTP that fixes some problems with
7th guest.  Your problem doesn't sound like the one the patch fixes, but you
might try it anyway : it fixes problems with the sound drivers and VESA video
support.  It is called something like T7G-FIX.ZIP.  You might try an archie
search for T7G (Send mail message to "arc...@archie.sura.net" with no subject
line and "prog T7G" in the body, and nothing else.  You will get a reply by the
end of the day with sites where it can be found and in what directory).
