Nothing like that.
The text was exactly the same, just did a compare with a copy I made 
while trying to see what was wrong. The file was hide but not system.

It was working. I had a disk crash on my OS drive. I reinstalled on a 
freshly formated drive.
Immediately after the reinstall, the normal functionality was broken.
This mean that the installation process did something wrong, like miss 
set the system flag or something.

As they say: Two identical computers, with the same periferals and OS 
ARE'NT...
