Hi tg ,
Tried both your links as well as many others thru ggogle. All of them basically suggest running scanreg in the safe mode. Have already done so twice but no results. Are the others listening. Shall highly appreciate any and all comments. -------------------- Whatever Life takes away from you, let it go. When you surrender and let go of the past, you allow yourself to live in the moment.

Hiya tg ,
Ran SpyBot & AdAware in safe mode. Next morning on booting found the problem disappeared. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
