More than fair enough comments! I'm a person who normally runs with a high no. of incompletes which no doubt contributed to my previous success of LW restarting incompletes without assistance.

What I had started to do just now would in effect start a new, fresh downld account if you like. But you're probably right, a new account will be without the intrusion of other program prefs, background running, etc. I will do this ... just the pia of relogging, blah blah .... When it shuts down all other operations.
