I dont know what happened or how...
I spent ages yesterday trying to make it work. Software/hardware updates, anti virus + spyware checks (was clean), random combinations of profile options, re-installations, you name it...
However, I ran it today, and viola, it is working fine.
Some things happen in our life that have no logical explanation. This, would be one of them :p
Thanks for the reply loraik, was nice to see someone try to offer some input.
Take it easy.
