As noted, Kev, it just gets as far as 'insert the device and wait'. Doesn't
say how long, but I did leave it for an hour at one point. Shame they could
not have let one install the driver on its own: but I expect that the device
still would not be recognized even then.

Thanks for the interest though,

Cheers,

S
