I'm afraid you're about ten minutes too late, I just started the installation. Not a worry though, it's a new machine so I haven't had much time to fill it with crap yet. Won't be too much effort to get back to where it was.

However, if it still doesn't work I'll have a go at your suggestion and report back tomorrow once it's all sorted. This isn't exactly how I pictured starting the new year, but it could be worse. :P
