Since you have Mathematica 5, just use Reduce instead of TrigSolve: In[1]:= Reduce[Sin[x] == 0, x] Out[1]= C[1] \[Element] Integers && (x == 2 Pi C[1] || x == Pi + 2 Pi C[1]) Because of some glitches in Reduce, it is a good idea to add the domain specification (Reduce[Sin[x]==0,x,Reals]), without it Reduce may give an incorrect result for trigonometric equations.
