painstakingly followed all your other suggestions but to no avail.Any more
ideas I could try or is it a case of getting someone far more knowledgeable
than me to sort it out!!

Hi Annie,
If it there can you rename it to WTSAPI32.DLLOLD then reboot your machine,
does it help?

Did you read the article about windows terminal service?

If it is too much then yes best if you took it to your local repair shop for
them to sort it out for you.
Good luck.
