Jeff,
Sorted!
>Can she boot up in safe mode without a problem?
She couldn't at first but a look under the hood showed enough hair to
make half a dog, stuck between the two 128 DIMMs. Why the dude who
fitted the h/d didn't shift this is anybodies guess. A quick
de-contanimation and all's well that ends well.
Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
