Well I know it is a sign of madness, but I am following myself up!

It seems I have a workaround for this, though things didn't pan out as
expected.

I found somewhere, that you can try changing the cvs/Root(after navigating
via explorer) to include the proxy settings, but this didn't work. Someone
else had suggested deleting them altogether, which is what appears to have
worked. However the Root file hasn't been reset up as expected.

Can/does this affect anything, should I be worried, can this cause major
problems?

any answer would be nice :-)
