Question Author
Thanx for the prompt and concise answer. It's a beute on the face of it, but when I do click tools then options the box pressents me with eight tabs, those being- media lirary/ visualizations/ file types/ network/ player/ copy music/ devices/ and performance/. (e.g. no privacy) I've clicked each one in turn and had a good look at their contents but haven't seen the word privacy anywhere! However, I tryed a register cleaner and it seems it's fixed the problem for me.
Thanx again. But I wonder where I went wrong in understanding your answer? Seems so straight forward realy; bit of a mystery. I wonder if you can make a bit more sense of it than me and let me know? Cheers . . . . .
