Ok, a bit more,when I open a terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T and enter unity
--reset it says unity-panel-service: no process found, goes through a few
things of initializing, and stops and hangs
Get the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T then type
ccsm
to run the compiz config settings manager. If it appears then find
the Ubuntu Unity Plugin and if it is not enabled then enable it.
If ccsm is not installed then this may not be the problem, but in your
case I would try installing it
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
then run ccsm as above.

Hi, that worked I got it back, and comparing my other machine, it had
changed compiz>Preferences>Backend rom gconf configuration backend to
the other option, which took away unity....but I have no windows
comtrol, and there are no borders around the windows and I cant close,
minimize reduce anything, each window I open opens in the left corner,
and right up the top of the screen which causes the panel to hide.....I
can move the windows using Alt then pressing the curser, but I cant
close them, so got loads of windows open but noway to close.....
