Hello! First of all, thanks for your quick response Paul. I tried the 2
resolutions shown in the microsoft webpage you stated, and no success. I
thought the first one will fix the problem because it was last reviewed last
16th of June 2008 which is very recent. I am familiar with the 2nd one which
is exactly my vendors supposedly solution to this problem and the most
popular tweak in every forum regarding this topic.
