Bobkn. I got a gig of that stuff installed and it did the trick.

Sorry, I somehow missed this reply. I have got my new pc up and running now, so will be looking at this in a few days again. Thank you for your help.

ok ta.

That's quite a lot of information, thank you very much. I couldn't find windows defender mentioned anywhere, so it must be well down the list.
