Hi tetonbob,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

In following your instructions I may have found a more serius problem. I was unable to start Pc in safe mode. After investigating that I downloaded powermax from maxtor. This diagnosed a failing hard drive. It's still under warenty so no biggie in that respect.

However, I do apolagise for putting you to so much trouble, but as you can see I had no idea ontill I tried to start in safe mode.

Very lucky to find out now while I still have a few months warrenty. It wasn't the problem I came to you with but you have inanvertantly uncovered a more serious one.

I will look in hard drive section for help on checking the hard drive.

Thanks for your help.
