Thanks a lot!! It's working again.
But a funny thing happened: I just fixed the prob now here in early 
morning: -  I switched on the monitor, checked my emails, read your 
advice and happily started to work.... -  (You have to know that I have 
two PCs here, the one I mostly work at (Linux) and the older one (w2k), 
and the prob occured on the later one (w2k).)
But I started to do the new installation here on Linux, where actually 
no prob was... ;-o
But...  it's ok, no worries about. I try the new installation, it might 
be better, it doesn't run under root, let's see...

So let me say thanks again,
have a nice day,
Florian

P.S: I replied additionally to the list to inform the others, that the 
prob is solved. Is this ok? Is it common practice?
