Guys
Sorted!
I uninstalled the Windows Live Suite from Control Panel and then googled to
find a Microsoft link for a download of WLM2008. Everything works fine now.
Wish it worked in WLM2009, though because the GUI is much nicer
I'll keep an eye out for a fix and hopefully this won't take too long!
Best regards
Mike
