Hi Simon,

Thanks for the advice, but I', afraid it has come a little late for me.

Continuing my efforts to fix the problem and having to reboot several times, 
eventually I booted up to no screen at all.  Rescue mode showed that the config 
file was empty and I couldn't access the backup file.  So I bit the bullet and 
reinstalled, this time installing the nvidia 173 driver which is not showm as 
recommended and the machine rebooted into the correct resolution.  My pleasure 
was short-lived however because Firefox would not function.  It took ages to 
boot then would not accept mouse clicks.  So I unistalled the 173 nvidia driver 
and installed the 186 (recommended) driver and lo and behold, on rebooting  I 
have permanent 1920x1080 resolution and everything works swimmingly!

Keith.
