Top posting to save anyone the effort!

It's typical isn't it? I've bee nwrestling with this all week and ten

working properly! (The answer - for anyone's future reference - appears to
be to not just disable Norton AV2004 but to shut the whole anti-virus
program down entirely through Task Manager.)

Cheers,
Probert.
