Hi Roger:

Thanks for taking the time to help me out - its much appreciated. After
posting my question, I did check control problem and I had UK settings, but
judging by the second reply to my question, maybe that was my problem?

Anyway, my computer fell over and after rebooting and checking itself - all
was fine again.

Very strange and creepy - the whole incident has jserved to remind me to
backup my latest data to my external harddrive.

thanks again.
