Sascha,
The RA = 1 will definitely be a problem. Do you have any registry protection
programs running on the laptop? I can't think of any other reasons why it would
be "jumping back to 1 after restart".
Obviously we won't fix this immediately, but if you're patient and persistent we
can surely give it a good try.
Start by downloading HijackThis <http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt/>. Create a
folder for it, say C:\HJT, and copy HJT there. Run it, generate a log, and copy
and paste the log into your next post.
