Hi Jumbo,

Thanks for this additional information. Will have a go at this one, to see
what's it alike.

As for tracking cookies: They don't live long enough on this system to
track me, I use the Crap Cleaner program to kill those (and keep the ones I
want to keep, mostly forum cookies). Besides this one I regularly run
AdAware, Spybot, and Advanced Spyware Remover "Lite"; and of course
SpywareBlaster when it needs to be updated again!
