Update:

I think I can close this off now. The netbook has been investigated in
depth by remote by J Rumm for over an hour, the situation is still not
resolved and looks like winxp is likely the issue. I am confident that

Anyhow I do thank you all for your contributions and a special thanks
to John for the time taken to investigate it for me.
