Hi Mchael,
This system was installed - clean - from dvd on 28-12-2010.
I use my laptop like my car. Drive it - stick to the rules - not messing 
with things I do not know about.
When beyond me I ask for advice.
Your positive input is appreciated.
Before I try anything is your advice still standing since this is new 
install?
Await your comment
Thanks.
Johan
