Thanks, Paul!

I was busy and didnıt read carefully so I thought you were advocating the
more complete rebuild solution.

Thatıs why it took me a little longer than usual to thank you for the
advice.

Totally fixed.

Is there a FAQ, or can you offer a thumbnail explanation of what happened
and why a compact would fix it?

Not that important, but Iım a curious sort.

Thanks again. Itıs totally cured.

Best,
