Many thanks (again) for any help
Unlikely as it seems, it looks as though something has messed up your /home
ownership. Use Failsafe again, and try 'ls -l /home/dave'. If the ownership
is not shown correctly use 'chown -R dave:dave /home/dave' - altering the
commands, of course, to your system's needs.
If the ownership is correct and so are the permissions, still in failsafe mode
use passwd to reset it - 'passwd dave' will ask you for the new password.

Thanks Anne, permissions, ownership & password were all OK.......But
/tmp was full! Cleared out the .trash & I'm back in business again.
I'll be trying the varioous scripts I've seen on other forums for
clearing /tmp automatically!
Need to try the Live CD again now & see whether that runs!
Thanks again for your help
Dave
