Maybe I didn't need to delete all three but I did and its worked for me
You absolute star that worked a treat.

I'm also not sure if all of them needed to be deleted, but I did anyway (I actually moved them to a backup folder).
Side effects for me were as follows:

Had to change account password as it locked my account out :/
Had to sit through the intro movie again without being able to skip.
Had to setup all graphics and control options again.

I did not however lose my hotbar layout, all my icons are on the bars where I have them

Thanks again Krink
