Thanks, Dave. It was duff RAM. Now sorted. What a weird collection of faults
that gave rise to. Even Paint doesn't ask for the colour picker now, Why duff
memory should stop a module loading I have no idea. No matter. All seems well
now.

What still puzzles me is that the drives that originally reported errors that
everybody told me marked their death, I can now access quite happily & will
use them as back ups.

I didn't have a c32. My motherboard number is 1208. Is there a way of
matching these numbers to which series the motherboard is? Had a Google but
couldn't find a list.

I've sorted System variable not found - USBDeviceDriver$Path (internal error
code 120). I had forgotten to tick the options in Configure USB when I
installed Adjust for the second time.

I now seem to have a fully working RiscPC. Fingers crossed!!!!

Many thanks to all who offered advice along the way.
