Tried again yesterday. Still no access, bombing out with thesame message.
Tried today and it worked?. No updates to my machine, nothing changed in settings, nothing new installed or removed and it worked. Just to test I've reinstalled my last registry back up (3 days ago) and then a system restore to the 30th of June and it still worked. Me thinks someone at Bebo has made a change somewhere.... Happy now though, all working.
