Sunk,perhaps you are not one of the unsympathetic and unhelpful posters in this thread.Remember that I'm no expert in computing.I'd agree with you that there's been a list of nonsense posted in this thread.But don't blame me for not trying to help you.At this time you have more info than you had before.You can understand that I'm not prepared to e-mail you direct given the pretence on this board,and people posting under different names,etc.
I cannot give you any more advice,as I don't have any more to give!
Hope you can find a good and inexpensive way out of your present predicament.
