Dear Sirs:

The computer in question is in Grenada West Indies - after much back and forth calling between countries and between Lenovo and Microsoft each blaming each other for the problem a resolution was reached. Finally someone at Lenovo was able to instruct us how to return the computer to factory settings. Of course this lost much of the content of the computer as we couldnt access the files when this occurred. But it is now working and we are dreading updates so we inspect each now and only download what we aboslutely need.

Much of what was posted on the forums was tried but until the Lenovo tech got us back to factory settings nothing was working. Your reply to the post beat me to this reply

Thank you

Mark this as solved as finally after much back and forth with Lenovo and Microsoft the Lenovo Tech achieved talking us through a return to factory settings. This resolved the problem although files on the computer were lost.
Thanks to all
