Thanks Callender but at the time of the crash I had no cursor or keyboard active so couldn't have done anything as that fix suggests and I'm now into the fresh install and reinstalling all my old...

Thanks for the suggestion but I have to admit I do prefer to establish the source of the problem and resolve it permanently so, if you or anyone else has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
