The previous 2 replies are correct, you really need to give us some information. With the, incredible, lack of information you supplied the only thing I would suggest is that you do a clean reinstall of Mandrake that you list as the distro you are using in your LQ profile. Just so you know Mandrake hasn't been Mandrake since 2005, it was renamed Madriva so if you are still really using Mandrake I would suggest that you download and install something that is actually currently supported.
