Thanks SIW2 - lots to read there if I decide to try a repair install. It's a lot to get my head round and I need to check I know which category my system is in.
I'm still hoping something else might fix it without that.
I just realised today, I've not actually tried manually rolling back the drivers I updated - should I try that, do you (anyone) think? If it's just that I've installed a driver that's wrong somehow, theoretically that should fix it if it will roll back. If it's some other glitch has corrupted something, it might not. I know I seem very cautious - just thought someone might say "NOOOOO! Don't do that!" Lack of caution got me into this mess.
Edit to add: Also, if doing a System Restore to an earlier point from Safe Mode doesn't have an undo option, this suggests that it's different from the normal mode. Would you advise this? As I said, the problem was that System Restore was reporting success, but failing to actually go back to an earlier restore point. Perhaps from Safe Mode there's some reason it might succeed?
