Thanks Ralph,
Turns out I was on 11.04 so I have upgraded to 11.10 and am now in
process of upgrading again to 12.04LTS - will probably stop there as
that seems to be the latest stable LTS.
I will also be re-formatting network and USB drives to EXT4 and
installing Samba on Windows machines so that they can also use the
drives - does this make sense?
Thanks Ralph,
Charles

Hi Charles,
My query at the terminal screen command prompt says that I have the
latest updater, but I can't find how to launch it. I am running 12.04,
which is now obsolete, and need to upgrade to the highest available
current LTS version.
12.04 LTS is still the latest LTS as I understand it and still being
supported.

What does `lsb_release -a' show?
You can go from 12.04 to 12.10, then 13.04, etc.

Hopefully this will not only bring my version up to date (without
losing other items I have installed!) but also fix the menu problem at
the same time.
It *may* repair things.
Cheers, Ralph.
