This has been a great learning experience for all involved (me in particular!) and could also be of help to others that may end up in a similar situation. I like to stress though to those who come across this thread to please not blindly follow the instructions given here, as they apply to this very specific situation ONLY. However, the approach of the issue and underlaying method is the lesson we can all take away from here.

Once again (and I repeat myself here) this forum has proven its absolute value for those who persevere, assisted by those who did not give up on them who needed help. Rest assured I will make a donation to this forum before the day has come to an end. A big THANK YOU to all who have helped me out, specially kunix and loly!
