    Hello T, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    What brand is your computer? I'll see if I can find and post back instructions on how to do so from your computer manufacturer's website. Perhaps you could do a factory restore from your OEM recovery partition to reinstall Vista with.

    Hi

    The option for factory restore dissapeared!

    I downloaded a recovery disc and ran that. From that I did a system restire which appears to have solved the problem. I'll look at it this afternoon and post back it I have any problems.

    Regards

    T
