I've added an item about this to the front-page FAQ. Please have a look there and see if it's applicable, then post a follow-up note here.

I also checked, and your machine returned its first successful result today. So I'm guessing that you've sorted out the installation and installation problems, and are up and running.

Cheers,

Bruce
