Ive fixed it!
Its one of two things - I had installed powerpoint from an old version of
office so maybe that had screwed up the new version of office?
Anyway, i uninstalled powerpoint - still no joy. But noticed that the
Outlook Today page had scripting errors when selected so i did a repair
(under program install/uninstall option), then reset the index (control
panel/indexing options) and once it had indexed the pc again, its now ok.
Ive not had a chance to reinstall powerpoint to see if that breaks it again!
