Hi Ben,

Did you receive the log file I sent you (about 1 hour ago)? It seems to have bouned due its large size (1 Mb).

Ahmed:

No, as admin you probably shouldn't have run into permission problems.

The new log file should be in your personal temp folder.  Running:

  explorer %TEMP%

>From Start Menu > "Run...", should bring up the folder containing the
log; unless the creation of the file, again, failed.
