[SLE] Just installed SuSE 10

I just installed SuSE 10 last night, (I was using suse 9.2, and have
used 8, 7.2, 6.4)

However I have two issues:

1. Sound works with kde start up and ping/poobs, etc. But I am unable
to hear music any other way such as listening to music using the
default music player, or from gaim.

2. Also last night when I did the install I never saw the question
being asked about where to put grub, and mbr, etc. And now I can not
get into windows. The option is there, it is still pointed to
/dev/sda1, but I get an error from windows. I tried a few things, and
I still cant'. Kind of important to me as I do play games still, and
I have a software raid scsi set up from windows that I need access to.

Anyone able to help point me in the right direction? I am going to see
if I can restore the MBR to pre-install once I am off work. (I thought
I enabled VNC so I could do it from work, but it looks liek I didn't
open a hole in the firewall)


Thank you guys much!
