sorry to take so long to get back, have been having all kinds of fun. computer started running slow and unresponsive, ran all scans and nothing found, checked start up and processes, nothing found, ran scans in safe mood, nothing found, ran on line scans ( bit defender, pandasoftware) and again all clear.
now i'm in the middle of redecorating, moved computer to paint behind put back and it was awfull, could'nt do a thing with it, you got it. have a faulty connection. turned out to my wireless ketboard and mouse reciever plugged into a faulty usb port, switched and everything is perfect again. so it was just me thats got a few loose wires. thank goodness.
thanks again Lokoike, will keep reading the boards with interest
kindest regards
