Thanks guys
The colour shift is a permanent thing post start up (ie it does not correct if you open an app)
I gave the Restore thing a crack (both normal and extended) and it came back with no problems detected
This is the link to the Apple Mouse Utility that I installed and have subsequently uninstalled.

I also uninstalled the catalyst thing because it came up with an error at startup anyway.
Right clicking (ctrl click, or shift F10) doesn't work now in XP (without the mouse utility) shift F10 used to work but now it doesn't work either - So I am not sure if Leopard gives the drivers for this (doesn't appear to)....
No I never stopped the installers as such for windows or OSX it was only when the updates to the leopard software didn't work that I canned them and had to download the file manually (ie software update just stalled (over 10 minutes) so I had to get out and restart.
Yep the mac partition shows in windows - that is the only way I can switch between the two (other than holding the option key)
Macworks
Yep - did that before and had another crack then but sadly no joy
So gang....
The only other thing that maybe of relevance is that when it does its first restart to OSX from XP (ie when it works fine) the startup takes longer to get to the blue screen (probably about twice as long) - I am not sure if this is relevant or not
Also this problem only started once I installed the Leopard bootcamp drivers in XP - I could switch between OSX and XP (albeit only by the option key) without the screen having its current meltdowns - Should I uninstall and reinstall the botcamp drivers?
I am not sure what other info I could provide that would be relevant
