@tim.mcmanus:
Any particular reason why you stayed with the 32-bit version over the 64-bit version? You probably won't need it, but having access to that additional 4GB of RAM you have installed would be nice. :)
Thank you for your reply :)
No, not at all; not at all.
This 'historically' grew like this. I started at X64, then had loads of problems (described high-level in the above), and then decided, in order to eliminate possible causes, to start at X32 (perceived by me, probably rubbish due to my noob-ness, as 'more safe'). So I built on that, and arrived at the final: after 1 week of smooth running, I will probably enjoy it for a couple of weeks to recoup from the 'horrors' (well, the frustration was really severe) of the past couple of months. After that, I will do a reinstall of X64 2.0.3. I have no reason whatsoever to think that that will turn into a nightmare, now that I have new hardware and at the same time know how to deal with my ISP.
Thanks again for your reply,
Bye,
