Thanks for all your advice, Tom. I've sent request for help to ASUS [that
same address there above] 5 days ago. No reply yet. I'm not wondering why:
on their site, ASUS apologizes in advance that they wouldn't be able to
handle all the email requests for support because of the large volume that
comes everyday.
My thanks also to abe and gcobb for their inputs on this.
