First, get it working with the basic, fresh install. Do not start out by applying patches like No CD.
Once everything is working right, then try the next step.
Uninstall it, and begin again.
Post the details of your system, especially your hardware, and all drivers & patches to your system you have installed.
Describe the way your OS is set up. The more info you give, the more people might be able to help.
It does not help us to help you if you just say it does not work. The blunt fact is that yes, it does indeed work. There is something that you have done wrong, like not follow the advice, or maybe something you have misunderstood, or maybe just a silly mistake. There is also the possiblity something in your system, hardware, or drivers is causing it.... but how can we tell that unless you provide better information.
Hey... I know... just e-mail me your computer and I'll fix it for you
.
I'm joking about the e-mail. Go to the Computer talk forum and look at this HOWTO, fill it out, and post it here.:

A lot of smart people read this Forum, but I for one am not adept at reading minds, though I do take educated guesses at times.
