GnuPG was looking for the keyring in its own directory, c:\program files\gnu\gnupg, rather than under the user specific directory where the keyring lives normally. I'm not used to using it from the command line, but I saw that in the gpg directory there were 0 byte keyrings so I deleted them, then ran the --list-keys command and it recreated them. Assuming, therefore, that it had "lost" the directory, I read back in the install notes and found the appropriate registry key and reset it to point GnuPG back at my keyrings and voila! - all was well. Anyway, thanks to everyone for the help. Now the only problem is to get rid of the bits of GPGOL left in Outlook - every time I run it I get an error message telling me it can't find the GPGOL .dll file - hardly surprising because I deleted it. It looks as though there are a few registry entries I haven't found and deleted yet. Still, now everything is working again that's the least of my worries. Regards, Bob
