    My solution was to type 'recovery' in search box, click on 'recovery', then 'Open system restore' and go back in time.

    Cheers,

    System Restore takes U back in digital time. If U've done work since or between digital restore points, U lose it!

    Hello,

    Recovery states:

    "System restore does not affect any of your documents, pictures, or other personal data." but "recently installed programs and drivers might be uninstalled."

    My comp was brand new so nothing new had been installed.

    Sorry, that's all I've got. (apart from the usual switching it off and then back on / restart)

    Cheers,

    Gordon N.
