Glad you got it working, Muskrat!
The low memory thing has been known to cause problems for folks in the past, so that might very well be what you were running into.
Thanks also for letting us know how it turned out, that helps us help others in the future. Of course, now that you know that bit, you can help others too!
I echo your kind words about this community -- it never ceases to amaze me how ... nice (there's not another word for it) the folks around here are, it's the main reason I've stuck around so long, and I hope you stick around too.
