Thank you very much, BBJ, I'll get on it in a few weeks, because I won't be near that laptop sooner. Thank you again for the advice! I'll be sure to quote your recommendation. Cheers!

Hm, I am having trouble with that too. The automatic fixit is no longer available and I can't do it manually, because I can't find the given entry in the registry. It ends a few steps before it should, for me. It should be...
