Is it giving a message about group policies?

If so, the same problem occurred on both my PCs within a few days or
so. Without asking for help the only fix that I could think of was to
restore my systems to as they were the previous day. Of course this
may not be an option for you and in any case is only a workaround as
the problem may occur again. I don't like using the restore facility
as I'm always worried it will create more problems than it solves if I
can't remember what changes I may have made since the last restore
point was created.

In the end I un-installed from both PCs but will reinstall once a
solution is found.
