Well Winsupport were very helpful - it turns out that this problem is related to the Cue Note plug-ins (both old and new seemingly) and that they have been working on a fix. Having only used the Cue Note plug-in for the first time since acquiring WinFin2004 I assumed that the programme was at fault. However, on reflection it has only occurred with the files that have been 'Cue Noted'.
