My iMac has frozen. Someone else was using it ( as Guest User). It froze so
When he told me I tried to get out of Guest User onto my main user account. No
luck. I have pressed the On/Off button a few times and unplugged it. I then
tried resetting PRAM by holding down PR and alt and Command on
state?
Crossing my fingers for you that its something simple like the keyboard/mouse
acting up because of batteries or a loose usb connection. Multiple PRAM
resets aren't a bad thing

Many thanks Sam. I tried your first suggestion and typed in the commands.
Perhaps I didn't wait long enough for the computer to respond to each command
and scrambled up the sequence? Because it didn't seem to be working I tried
your final suggestion - booting with Shift. This did as you said

No - a recent upgrade to Mountain Lion is the most recent change.
