Hi Carol, A good thought, which led me to a dialogue box page I hadn't seen before, but nothing there was checked. Checking/unchecking (with reboots) didn't work for me but many thanks for the tip. If you've any other thoughts I would be pleased to hear . Help tells me that not only can I not create a Restore point, none has made since the re-install of WinME, so there's nothing to go back to! I still have over 3 GB on Drive C, so that shouldn't be the cause. Failing a cure, I'll have to re-install again so any further advice is very welcome.
