Well, my laptop is a Dell XPS about 3 months old, so yes, it could be too sexy. I guess I just have to wait until I get home and I can try on one of the older PCs there. I have them going all the way back to XP, so if it's about compatibility there's a good chance it could help.
I will see if I can boot from the stick at work, but it's the Banque de France and they are a little bit anal-retentive about foreigners messing about with their PCs so it may be disallowed to boot from anything other than the hard drive. I try not to piss them off on the basis that the security guards have access to an actual arsenal.
Anyway, thanks chaps. I guess I have a project for the weekend while my wife would rather I was tiling the downstairs bathroom. I will get back to you to give more info, whether it works or not. Information is always good.
