Thanks, Graham - yes I had recently installed a USB TV
tuner, so its very likely that the problem has been caused
by whatever codecs it loads. The problem (which I know I
have created for myself) is that I tried to reinstall MM
so many times that the 'Restore' file (when I finally
remembered to try it) was of no use. I have also tried the
renaming tool from
www.papajohn.org to no avail. I fear
that I have 'screwed' up badly and may now have to do a
complete re-format and install everything again. Something
that I am not looking forward to at all, having just
recently done just that after a virus attack. By the way
does anyone know if it is possible to archive
the 'restore' files to CD?
I'll try uninstalling the USB TV Tuner tonight, to see if
that helps, but if anyone has any other solutions that I
can try, I'd be most appreciative.
Regards to all
Terry
