The problem is evident on my desktop which was an upgrade version of XP, and also my laptop which was a version supplied by the manufacturer. Both OS's have been updated completely via windows update. I've checked for viruses by three different methods now and nothing found.
Belgique,
I think the problem experienced was slightly different.
I've had a quick scout around the MS knowledge base but found nothing that specifically covers my problem.
