Doctor all of which say I am clear. Could it still be a virus or any
other ideas what the problem could be please? Thanks.

If this is a software problem we need to rule out spyware/adware and viruses lisa
My advice is to follow these simple guides i made.
Removing viruses and trojans
Removing spyware
If these guides do not work, i recommend following the Hijack This instructions in the 'Removing Viruses and Trojans guide.
Also....Try running sfc /scannow (note the space after sfc) from the 'Run' box. This will replace any damaged or missing files you may have. You may be prompted to insert your XP disk.
If all the above do not work, the problem may be hardware related
Linear Mode
