Unfortunately. that is all that happens, you click on the recovery link, 
and it goes black, then it freezes, and you cant do anything at all 
after. That goes for each kernel recovery link. Until that update a 
couple of weeks ago it worked.

The reason I want it to work, is on a couple of occasions after updates, 
I havent been able to get the desktop to load, and I have managed by 
going into the recovery, to fix it. So being without it now, is a bit 
useless really.
