64-bit no login after reboot [SOLVED]

Ignore this post.

Hi
I have installed 12.12.1 64-bit on a DELL optiplex 755.
All seems to work perfectly after installing from the Live DVD. I then do:

apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
After installing all updates I then reboot but after entering the login password the screen hangs with the login background and never gets to the desktop.
Mouse movement is OK and if I switch to a console it seems to function OK.

Any suggestions?

thanks
