Quite often I hear my " friend, son, neighbour etc are computer experts and they cant fix it--- Man I've have been tempted to say " so why the hell are you call me then " :)

Thanks CYaBro
I got the PC back over the weekend and followed the fix supplied
Worked perfectly.
I don't understand what this registry entry actually does but it works fine now
For those who may have been following the thread, the fix is as below

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class
Key Name: {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Value Data: [Delete All Value Data from UpperFilters and LowerFilters]
Note: Do not delete the Key or the Multi-String Values. Delete only the data values.
Exit Registry and Reboot
