Going by that, it had repaired all corruption.
Boot up with the Win 8.1 install media and navigate to the Command Prompt and enter these cmds -
bcdedit
This will give you a list.
Look for Windows Boot Loader and make a note of the identifier.
It can either be {current} or {default}
I will use {current} in my example of the cmd but use your identifier if different.
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot
Ensure you use the correct brackets as typed.
Enter exit to close the cmd window, remove the install media and restart to see if resolved.
If that doesn't resolve then you can boot up with the install media again and perform the dism /image:x:\ cmd using your partition letter which should put things right.

Because it was such a while ago, I considered in my decision that the IP address may have belonged to someone else then.

The command worked but here is the interesting part. I was using the same USB media for Hiren-Boot and did not want to download it on another PC so I tried the command from Hiren-Boot.
Thanks for the great tip...
I want to try the below to try and enable safe mode.

Well that's something I've learned - I wasn't aware that Safe Mode wasn't a default feature of Win 8.0
I would have assumed they would have added that for Win 8.1
No wonder the machine is all over the place when you try to boot into that mode.
Anyway, I'm off to roost now - Goodnight.
JohnCoool:
The safe mode used to work normally for me. But I installed several software to lock it up. Then I uninstalled the software without disabling the feature. That might have made it permanent. So I will try this method to get it back up.
I did try reinstalling the software to allow it back on but maybe it was too late.
I will update here and we will continue on another day...
