Alrighty...

Been reading loads of posts from around the world with folks having the same or similar problems.. Many of them were down to the PC they were using.. Mine is a P4 3GHz with 1Gb ram.. Used to be a server in my brothers company (loads of fans on it).. Am just gonna pop down and see if I cant strip some more crap out of windows and the bios.. Got a nagging feeling that it has an onboard wireless network card, an absolute no no from what I have read...
Gonna use my biggest hammer on it...
