if you still have the install discs for Photoshop and Office and such it wouldn't be much of a problem to throw em in but Norton is something else entirely

Cheers Flammin. Yeah I know, bit of a strange trade off. It turned out that the problem was actually with the BIOS and a failed HDD, hence the replacement. They've upgraded the BIOS too so now it does afew things that it never used to, for the better though. I also swapped back the 2GB RAM that I had and so far everything's working prefectly.
It turned out ok really as it gave me achance to get rid of all the rubbish on there I'd installed that I never used anymore and start afresh. I didn't have the Office disks anymore but my bro in law had the newest version so lent me his, although Misshoo isn't best pleased as she keeps moaning that she can't find anything in the new versions!
I also managed to dump Norton and stuck Avast on instead, together with the usual Adawre and Spybot.
