Hi happyrock,
Thanks again and my apologies for not replying sooner, again!
System restore appears to be working OK, as per the attached screenshot, and I am pasting below a new VEW report taken after I created the manual System Restore point.
Interestingly, since I did the
msconfig thing, the computer has not faltered when starting though it is perhaps a little early to be believing the problem is solved. Time will tell.
I am most grateful for your asistance and wonder what you suggest I do next, or do i just monitor the system for a few days and see what happens?
Incidentally, I note that there are again a couple of errors (below) date stamped the middle of the night, when I was most definitely not at the computer and it was sewitched off. Can you explain why these errors are created with this datestamp?

Thanks again and best wishes,
