NB - I see from your recent post that you have found Option 2.

Unfortunately option 2 didn't resolve my issues. Sorry when I said upgrade to Windows 10 i didn't mean literally, I'd do a clean installation and just migrate the documents over  :smiley:

Boggin:
Doing a clean install of Win 10 now would cost you the price of a license key - using the Assistive Technologies link will get you Win 10 for free without touching your personal stuff, but you would need to use Task Manager to open IE and pin that to the Taskbar if you use IE then go Start - Settings - Services - Default Apps to make it your default browser as Edge takes centre stage otherwise.

I ended up fixing this issue by doing a clean install of Win 10 with the Assistive Tech link.

Thanks for your help.

Boggin:
Glad the Assistive Technologies helped you.

Norton stuck something on my system which left an irreparable reparse point before I upgraded to Win 10 and it was only resolved after a factory reset.

I have another reparse point from something which  doesn't get repaired but as there aren't any adverse effects from it that I know of, I just ignore it.
