Thanks Stephen. I've restarted my Machine. I've copied these directories from another computer where it is working and overwritten them on the faulty one. Some nodes have appeared but for example the image node hasn't. Could you tell me what the name of that node is as an example? Maybe something crazy has happened with permissions on this comp etc.
Thanks for the help.
