Yes, all good advice, but already been there. Thanks anyway.
As I explained in earlier post, the problem is with the PC belonging to my 72 year old mother. The latest news is that mother got on to PC World, where she bought the PC and they had a go at some sort of 'Recovery'. The upshot of all that, is the pc is now 'dead in the water' and she can't get in to recover any data she needs, (photo's from a recent holiday of a lifetime to Australia, account details etc,etc.)
The techy said he'd have to wipe everything, reformat and reinstall the OS. He never askes if she had backups before he started. What a 'blurt', I could have done that myself !!!
A lesson to any not too 'savvy' computer users out there, PC World techies are not up to grade.
