Hi Folks,

Thanks so much for your input. I've tried creating a guest account as 
you suggested Adrianna, but the same problem exists. Also happens if I 
log out as well as shut down.

I also tried your suggestion Wesley, but no joy. I suspect you're right 
regarding a recent upgrade being the problem. Strange thing is that the 
desktop option works perfectly. Looks like I'll have to do a process of 
elimination but I'll start with restoring backups prior to the last 
upgrade and take it from there.

Once again, many thanks for your help!
