thanks for your help ,i didnt realise your anti virus could affect your system restore.....i tried a restore in safe mode(automatically turns norton off) and it worked!! wat a load of crap norton is,i cant believe i ve just paid to resubscribe to it recently....think i m gonna look for some other anti virus next time.anyways thanks for your help,it s much appreciated

Never use norton me always thought of it as " a bit shite". I use bitdefender. And it is fair cheap on fleabay and the like. Yet I find very good just renewed again after 2 yrs
