This is the third place you've multiposted this, when I had already given
you answers and we had a dialog going elsewhere. According to this post,
you have not tried the things I suggested. I don't see any additions to
that original thread, in any case.

Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you
*less* help, not more. See this for why:
