PRAM battery may need replacing.
Once it is older than 4 years that's one thing that tends to create problems.

Thanks. My problems could have been connected with an iTunes update: I noticed they started shortly after I had upgraded. However, Iv'e now trashed iTu7nes altogether, and that hasn't helped. Occasionally I can switch between one application and another - say, Outlook and Google Chrome - but the application heading on the menu bar doesn't change, and I can't type anything into the second application. Is it a good idea to try an archive reinstallation of the OS?
Try running the combo update to see if it will fix files.
If that doesn't work, then you can restore from a backup.
Thanks. In the end I reinstalled the OS. Time-consuming, but it seems to have solved the problem
You are welcome. I'm glad it is fixed.
