Thanks for your interest and help. The first of the above replies doesn’t, as far as I can see, help at all, because it seems to assume I can boot the PC, which I can’t. The second does hold out the ray of hope that maybe it will boot into safe mode one day. And thanks for the info in the third. I’ll try deleting the file(s) from the subdirectory and see if that makes any difference. I’ll report accordingly.
