Just to up-date on this thread and close it.
I've managed to get the disk to run by 'playing' with the text menu but
do not know what I did!!
Anyway I've now up-dated the laptop with Mint 17.1 Cinnamonn and al is
well. Not able to get Digikam to work yet, it shows the splash screen
then drops out. Have uninstalled it and will try again as I think it's
missing some dependencies.
Will bring the laptop & DVD to next mtg to see if we can find out what
needs altering.
This is for my information to know why it's not working properly.
Thanks for all the advice and help, see you a week on Tuesday.

Well, tried all suggestions with little return except I tried my DVD
on our desktop machine and it worked!
So the DVD is a good one so why does it not work on the laptop, which
it the same drive it was burned on?
I still can't re-install the new copy of Mint until I get a DVD that
works.
Peter delivered a copy of the KDE version but I've never got on well
with KDE (could not get the wireless to work properly on the live disk).

Some items clipped
Hi Clive,
It's the DVD text menu showing Mint 17.1 and Memcheck, so booted from
DVD. Select Mint and that's when it goes to blank screen and nothing
more happens.
Yes, but that's checking that the download successfully got the image
file onto your hard disk. By running `md5sum -c md5sums.txt' or
similar from within the DVD's directory, you'll be checking the files
are retrievable from the DVD, i.e. that the burn went well. Cheers,
Ralph.
