for post #2) I tried that simple hardware profile change - and that
is NOT the problem. Its enabled just fine. I even disabled it, saved
and then enabled in case it was stuck. That didn't work.

for post #8) Tried all that as well - all the registry entries seems
there, I did everything it said and it still wont work.
