sorted the above out by removing all dbteck plugins unfortunately still having problems in that although I am the super admin I still do not have permission to use cms grrrrrrr:( everything else now appears to be fixed again (fingers crossed)

Sorry, you don't have permission to access the administrative controls on this page.

If you need to access this page, ask your lead administrator to enable your permissions for this page using the Administrator Permissions section of the control panel.
