Hi Shane,
Thanks for response.
Just done as you suggested, it booted straight to my normal desktop. (Without my Avast & Internet)
Tried a couple of programs, Irfanview & Open Office, both worked ok.
I had to return to Safe mode to get the Intenet connection to send this.
Where on earth do I go now?

cheers

Beeky

Thanks, it seems to have improved matters, but not fully.
Booting-up now starts to load desk top then either goes to a black screen or stays on Desktop but in both cases I get a top left hand message "Personalized Settings - Not responding"
Hopefully I am close to a normal boot, what do you think?

Wow! what a mind blowing piece of kit!
Most of the procedures so user friendly (bear in mind I'm a very senior citizen) my only worry is now that its been run and apparently repaired countless files, what do I do to address the other issues where it failed to fix?
My original reason for use was to hopefully solve the machine slowing down and frequent long pauses, I was told to do a Windows re-install from my origial disc/s, but the machine was supplied from the shop with everything pre-installed. I asked the sales chappie, he just looked at me sideways and said, "Nobody provides installation discs, these days" made me feel rather an idiot - left sheepishly.
Sorry, I do tend to wander, I have viewed the log files, spotted some probable problem areas eg WMI/ICS/I.E./MDAC-MS Jet, mention of, a number of times, of "contains wildcard" etc.
Where can I go from here? (Now that's asking for it!)
