Hi
Certainly sounds plausible that this is what has caused the difference,
guess the only way to tell would be to install it again but add the contact
manager in and see if that makes a difference. I have to admit that I havent
ever installed the contact manager so have never seen that option...might be
worth a try if you get a chance and some time to spare LOL
