This worked like a charm! Problem solved.
I must say that I'm really impressed by the friendliness of this community/forum.
I'll stick around and hopefully I can contribute in some way.
Thank you for helping me solving this problem.

Since I'm curious by nature I'll go down this road and see if I can find what was causing the problem.
And maybe I learn something along the way. If I find anything useful I'll post it here.
Thanks a lot for your input, really appreciate it.
Edit:
The computer does not accept any keystrokes after the freeze so maybe I just leave it there for now.
