I have uninstalled and reintalled BUT i think its looking at the electrum folder?
When you uninstall... it DOES NOT remove the Electrum data directory... so all your previously wallets will still exist. https://electrum.org/#download

So, what is happening, is that when you are starting Electrum, it is trying to open your old wallet... that has the wrong derivation path and wrong addresses in it!
Just relax, take a moment... and in Electrum select: "File -> New/Restore -> 'enter new wallet name' -> Standard Wallet -> Use a hardware device -> It should find your ledger, if not, connect it, unlock it and open the "bitcoin" app on the device and click next"... it'll then prompt you for the address type:
It works upto a point then freezes?

Select the 2nd option here... "p2sh-segwit (p2wpkh-p2sh)"... select whether or not you want to encrypt the wallet file... and then your wallet will be created and you should be able to see all your addresses/transaction history/balance.
