Apologies for not responding to your replies, I have been out of action, i have not solved it, there is a site that helps aged and disabled people with IT probs. called abilitynet.org.uk, I contacted them and they got one of their volunteers to call me, The guy wanted me to give him full access to my computer, err, I don't think so, thanks but no thanks, I am now using notepad++ to code and using their console, I am 77 yrs old.
Thanks again to those people who took the time to try to respond, much appreciated..
