Hi both,

When I select an option from the menu, the option stays highlighted
and nothing else changes on the screen (I've left it for a minute or
so before hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL to try again).
I'm not positive now, but I think there's some CD & CPU activity
(processor fan kicks in) but nothing much else.

Hwyl,
Neil.
