hi thanks for your reply - unfortunately I tried the solution - it didnt
work. Firstly I did not have the directory 9 as mentioned in the post
solution, BUT i did have a 11 and 10 in the same location so I added the
DWORD to both these directories under options but to no avail.

Any other ideas?

thanks

update the links.

It is really annoying can anyone shed any light on this.
