Thanks there, I am holding on for a while. I did another System Restore - this time it gave me the option to ‘undo’ so I thought .NET with was better than .NET without = no computer, so I went for that.

Much to my amazement the computer started normally and IE Bing re-appeared, this also gave me precious time to back up some more files which I wouldn’t want to lose if the worst came to the worst. Most of the important stuff I have copied to external hard drives.

Will update and if necessary print out your instructions to guide me.

Thanks again :slight_smile:
