<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">Thanks very much for the suggestion. I
eventually gave up on the kind of cure that would have allowed me to understand
what had happened, and reverted to the previous day's checkpoint (I'd actually
forgotten that Restore implemented an automatic checkpoint every 24
hours). It looks very much like a Registry corruption but I'll never
really know now!</FONT></DIV>

am not really a hero with Windows, but maybe:<BR><BR>- Go to Control Panel,
Add/Remove Software, and remove everything related to TeXLive<BR>- Check the
directories manually and manually remove any remaining files /
directories<BR>- Install TeXLive from scratch<BR><BR>Hopefully this will give
you a clean system. Backup any personal material you may have put into the
texmf tree. Otherwise, maybe you can find a "registry cleaning tool", maybe on
SourceForge or similar?<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Wilfred<BR>
