I thought that was probably the case - no references from Google or
sourceforge about these symptoms, and I'm unlikely to be the first to
discover it :-) I thought it might be wise to check first.

Yep - AVG, Zonealarm, Spybot and Adaware for all my customers. Unless they
insist on keeping Norton...

I'll follow your advice about the registry and try again.

Yes, that's where I got the copy for the second attempt.

Thanks for your quick reponses and help
