Thanks Mike, i did not realise restore gets done automatically, and thanks
for showing me how to run a program without explorer. I will remember that
for future reference.
I'm doing it now - and I am very pleased 
you have saved me quite a bit of
bother and time.
I should do more of rtfm

Rob,
I've my fingers crossed that SR solves the problem for you. I'm also
hoping that you haven't used a really old checkpoint but rather one
created in the last few days.
Not so sure though about RTFM, it's not something I'm known for and most
time don't even have the manual or help files to hand. :-)
Cheers,
