...and now I can quantify some other issues. Sometimes when I click a link, the linked-to page opens, but behind the active windows (i.e. need to minimise the active window to see it).
And I've just realised that the speaker volume is stuck on zero - if I move the slider up you can hear stuff but it just slides itself down again.
I don't know how all these can be related but I feel sure they were all OK at one point then probably all failed at the same time - whatever the cause.
EDIT: and a bit of research throws up a number of instances of this volume slider problem but none are very convincing answers. It's an onboard Realtek something, with the latest drivers. I wondered whether it could be a user profile corruption so created a new user, but that had all the problems right away too.
