OOOOPs!! - I forgot something.

Realised this after reading some of the other discussions.

I had previously installed Norton Internet Security Family Edition but had
never used it - have other Anti Virus and Firewall software.

I removed (uninstall and deleted any remaining files and folders) that this
week - doing a bit of 'housekeeping' whilst searching around for an answer to
this problem.

Might have something to do with it but still have to do the WININI.INI thing
as well.

Thanks.
