Thanks again Ron. Did a reinstall and the urls and jpgs burst into life now as before. Still have a lot of tidying up to do but the main problem is solved. A friend of mine (in electronics) said that when you solder connections on the end of a cable and when finished you find you have forgotten to put a fitting on the cable first, then having to do it again is penance for not doing it properly in the first place. This is the price I am paying with Mandrake right now.
