Hi thanks for replying. I did search the forums but didn't find anyone else asking this question. If you know of a topic then please post the url.
I have tried what you said, amending any mention of the previous url in the config.php file but it still doesn't work. 2% of the website loads and the rest doesn't. Could it be something to do with the fact that I'm moving it from a url that had CMSMS pointing towards a subdirectory called 'CMS' and I am now wanting it to point to a url which does not point to a subdir but to the root folder?
Below is my config.php and I've highlighted the bits I've been changing, is there anything else I should try? (I've changed my actual domain name in the below for security, and added asterisks for anything else that should remain secure):
Global Settings in the admin panel)

#-----------------
#Behaviour Settings
#-----------------
# These settings will effect the overall behaviour of the CMS application, please
# use extreme caution when editing these. Additionally, some settings may have
# no effect on servers with significantly restricted configurability.
# If you are experiencing propblems with php memory limit errors, then you may
# want to try enabling and/or adjusting this setting.
# Note: Your server may not allow the application to override memory limits.

# In versions of CMS Made Simple prior to version 1.4, the page template was processed
# in it's entirety. This behaviour was later changed to process the head portion of the
# page template after the body. If you are working with a highly configured site that
# relies significantly on the old order of smarty processing, you may want to try
# setting this parameter to false.
$config['process_whole_template'] = false;
# CMSMS Debug Mode? Turn it on to get a better error when you
# see {nocache} errors, or to allow seeing php notices, warnings, and errors in the html output.
# This setting will also disable browser css caching.
$config['debug'] = false;
# Output compression?
# Turn this on to allow CMS to do output compression
# this is not needed for apache servers that have mod_deflate enabled
# and possibly other servers. But may provide significant performance
# increases on some sites. Use caution when using this as there have
# been reports of incompatibilities with some browsers.
